Macro Videography with a $40 Lens - Altura Photo 0.43X Wide Angle

This video shows you how I use macro videography in the filming of Earwigs. The Altura Photo 0.43X Wide Angle Lens, an inexpensive accessory at $40, was used to shoot extreme closeups of insects and I think you'll agree that it does a great job. You'll also learn just about everything you ever wanted to know about Earwigs.

Hey Dan, thanks for the video! I just got this on sale for $18 and was hoping to use it for close up macro shots. I haven't seen too many reviews showing pics taken with this lens, so your vid helped a lot!

Thanks for commenting. I've learned so much from KZbin videos, it's good that I can help others too. Good luck with your lens.
