A 3-D Printer is becoming more and more attractive and as an investment for making inexpensive and custom camera gear. A friend of mine with a 3d printer is currently making a ground pod, and bahtinov mask for me. This macro photo lens tube is definitely on the list now!

[@LuLeBe]

I mean honestly I couldn't live without it for quick diy home repairs of broken plastic parts on all kinds of things where replacement parts aren't even available. $120 for a cheap anycubic mega zero 2 or a bit more for an ender 3 was really a no-brainer. Gotta learn some 3d modeling though in blender or fusion360

[@elliotmarks06]

At least here in the us, it's quite popular now to have a free 3D printer at a local library!

[@flip117100]

I'm going to be attempting to make an adapter that mounts Pentax Auto-110 lenses to my D800. 20mm plane distance on a camera that has 46.5mm flange distance. It's going to be an innie.😂 3D printers are very attractive rn

[@MathieuStern]

A weird lens for sure :)

[@MicaelWidell]

I took inspiration to the thumbnail from some of your most popular videos. Hope you don't mind ;) Weird lens in profile + white background seems like a formula for success. So far the video is performing very well :)

[@AllanWallsPhotography]

Hi Micael, I have been using and recommending this lens for use in the studio but the working distance makes it very hard to get light onto the subject in the field. I usually stick to 2X or less for my handheld work and I have started using a new metal cold shoe adapter from SmallRig called the "drop-in HawkLock mini QR clamp" - they make one that locks onto the camera hot shoe and angles up to 90 degrees and holds a speed light easily. Very handy gadget!

[@WilhanBotelho]

I tried it on my EOS RP and I am very glad with results. I dont have any real macro lens, but I like resolution, little to no chromatic aberration, good contrast, good working diatance, enought to flash work ok, without casting shadows. The very friendly cost makes an excelent choice for hobby, what is my case. For professional use in studio, maybe a good choice too. With tripod and macro trail it is so much easier. Handheld, static subject, and using flash is very easy too, even to stack some shots. I did take about 15 handheld shoots(in "studio") and stack process runs fine on Helicon Focus, with no need to retouch. I think the most complicated cenario is really to take the shots on field, in order to stack. In that case, needs much pratice with this kit to get good results.

[@paulvalerio3887]

Thanks for the great explanation of the freehand focus movement Michael! Now that I know how to shift the focus area I can go practice!

[@deechattaway]

That's cool. I love the photo stack of the lady bug!

[@ganjco8077]

Incredible, I just got this all setup, this is one of my fav videos of 2023. So cool, I was scared to attach this to my Sony full frame. I used the smaller extension tube I had, I think 12mm. It’s amazing works so well. Thank you to all involved with this. 🫶🏽

[@DoubleMonoLR]

This can also be done with commonly available items, most of which can also be used for other purposes. Using extension tubes also allows you to easily change the distance between the lens and the sensor. You could also add a helicoid to adjust focus(instead of moving the camera) if wanted, though that might only be useful on a tripod etc. eg: if using a Canon camera with EF/EF-S mount = EF to M42 adaptor, m42 extension tubes, M42 to RMS (microscope) adaptor. All are available on aliexpress & similar. Extension tubes also often seem to be available 2nd hand. For the lenses, it might be cheaper &/or better quality to buy a used microscope with the lenses.

[@HUNrobar]

I suspect that this setup in the field might be more practical with crop sensors and adjustable extension. 2-3X should give more working distance and shorter rig while the crop sensor compensates for reduced magnification.I plan to get a similar lens to try with my m4/3 camera and helicoid :)

[@Jbobonline]

Nice! Thank you Micael!

[@gerekappo]

I loved the video man! Some times in the video it seems you are looking at yourself on the camera, I feel that when you look at the lens that is filming you, we feel more conected to experience of watching.

[@20isanand]

The setup looks like a lot of fun 👍👍👍

[@Marco-zo1pv]

Very beautiful. I use a laowa 25mm to do focus stacking and it's very hard. But when i see you, It seems very simple. Why don't you use a fucusing rail to make focus stacking ?

[@MicaelWidell]

It's too hard to use a rail out in the field with moving, live insects. Easier to do handheld stacks. Could work when they are asleep.

[@BeetleBuns]

that's such a neat-looking setup, and the results are amazing!

[@ironhorsemedia3389]

where can i buy a canon sl2 adapter?

[@mobiusdisco]

Just ordered off of nick's site! CRAZY cheap for something with such great pictures!

[@Mark-ks9jj]

The removable lens front prevents stray light from entering when outdoors

[@thenickdude]

It should do, but this one is shiny metal inside as well and I suspect it reflects as much light as it blocks. I shoot without it on which also reduces the diameter at the tip, and increases working distance.

[@nemec3rd]

Very Cool, I'm going to print one and give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes.

[@samsen3965]

The excellent innovative, entertaining, inspiring macro-photography clip, you could only expect from Micael Widell. Highly appreciated. My only concern here: is "Finding the subject" in the field of the camera. And I'm talking about the still or nonmoving subject. Let alone the slow-moving, God forbidden, fast-moving ones.

[@MicaelWidell]

Yeah it is a bit tricky but the short working distance makes it easier.

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

Amazing results, even considering it was outside and handheld

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

[@drofnasw]

Would you please create a short video that shows how you mount the adapter on your camera, and how the microscope objective is mounted on the adapter? Thank you, Micael!

[@MicaelWidell]

The adapter is mounted on the camera just like a regular lens. The microscope lens is screwed into the adapter using the threading

[@kittykat2532]

I hope you do a video using it in the studio!

[@HavasiP]

This might be a dumb question but I know next to nothing about photography so here we go... Why not film in video and slowly move the camera and insect? That way you're bound to get frames with perfect focus and framing. I understand that the picture quality will suffer compared to a still photograph, but if the other option is to get a bad photo isn't it worth a shot? Like when you've taken a few pictures you switch to video as a kind of back up, if none of the still photos turned out OK maybe some of the video ones did.

[@FieryCoal]

It’s because the quality will suffer, but what you can do is hold down the shutter and take many photos in just a few seconds

[@GamerCZ123]

Becouse you would need strong light source. At theese apatures (F20) and fast shutter speeds (so image is not blurry cos slight movement will cause blur). Thats why he uses flash during relatively bright day. Could be done yes, practial and budget friendly no.

[@MicaelWidell]

Yes exactly like Lukas is saying, without a strong light source the shutter speed would have to be too slow to record video.

[@HavasiP]

I see. Thank you for the answers.

[@andywillis9701]

i believe this could be pretty fkn sick for iris photography

[@thenickdude]

4x magnification is just a little too large for that I think, with a full-frame camera an object 9mm wide fills the frame, and I see irises are 11-13mm in diameter, and you probably want some space around the sides too. 2x magnification seems like it'd be perfect (18mm wide objects on full-frame).

[@ArcticGator]

i really need to giure out all this focus stacking stuffs lol, pretty neat that you can put a microscope lens on a camera like that, as high as the magnification is, i wonder if the plane of focus is wide enough to get a good shot of a red velvet mite? sdice they are super tiny

[@MicaelWidell]

Well, the depth of focus is around 0.1-0.2 mm.

[@rosajonas]

Great video Micael! Loads of food for thought. I really want to be getting 10x magnification. Also, I don't have access to a printer and I'm on Nikon Z but this is something I need to try!

[@thenickdude]

Shooting 10x handheld would be a nightmare, you'll want to use a focus rail and stack dozens of images. For Amscope's 10x for example, working distance drops to 14mm. Effective aperture is about the same, around f/22, which is bad news for making the depth of field even thinner.

[@rosajonas]

@@thenickdude Maybe, however I currently use Laowa 5x with extension tubes so achieving >6x magnification already. For getting details on tiny springtails, mites, etc. I don't need much to be in focus so might be worth a try. Thanks for the info!

[@thenickdude]

@@rosajonas I think the lack of an adjustable aperture on the microscope will be the killer there. What indicated aperture do you shoot on your current setup?

[@CheikoSairin]

The lens set-up looks amazing. Nice macro shot 👍👍

[@ryanbutler4155]

So cool! I might suggest if you tried in a studio to have the camera on a roller track and position the subject right in front of the lens and shoot on High speed continuous to be able to stack all the photos

[@HoutmeyersP]

I downloaded and 3d printed the EF version adapter for a fullframe canon camera....still waiting on the Amscope objective. Question : since the subject/object is only 9mm wide on a full frame camera and the focuspoint is very close to the microscope objective is there a need for a very big diffuser like you are using in this vid ? I could imagine half the size would be easyer in use when photographing into small spaces.

[@SinaFarhat]

Intressant setup! :) Hemma studio och 4x makro skulle vara en fin övning för när man inte känner för att gå ut och vill bara kreativ! :) Ha en fin vecka!

[@happylondonpress9660]

Hi love the idea of this combination. - Would it work with a.. AmScope A60X-V300 60X Achromatic Microscope Objective for Compound Microscope? Any chance you could show the results of some complex focus stacking? - I love to learn more

[@MicaelWidell]

I am no expert in microscope lenses, but I guess any microscope lens that has the same threading will work. If you want to see more focus stacking, check this playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaGrfYeOYrelsK8

[@thenickdude]

I believe that one works. Working distance on that one is 1.6mm, it'll be a struggle to shoot with without a nice positioning stage for your subject or your camera. Note that high-magnification objectives take the cover glass of microscope slides into account in their optical design, so using them to shoot subjects in free-air is going outside the design, and will reduce image quality somewhat.

[@ForrestWest]

It seems like it might work well on a tripod and a slide.

[@LuisGarcia-lb7dn]

Any ideas on how to increase the working dostance? Would that even be possible?

[@MicaelWidell]

At such high magnifications there is no way to get a long working distance. At beyond 1x magnification it will always be small due to laws of physics

[@ceving865]

Nice photos!

NICE! thank you very much!

[@diaryofcreation582]

Thats pretty amazing 😀

[@IvoTichelaar]

Of course for indoors, you could get a microscope and a camera adapter. A macro rail is not free and a used microscope comes with a set of lenses and has accurate controls for depth and moving a specimen/subject around. We had fairly budget microscopes at school and high quality ones at university. The budget ones were already very nice to use, very controllable. 3D printing an adapter is very interesting though. Another part of my brain is getting excited about building a digital microscope from scratch now. ;-)

[@thenickdude]

If you'd like to print a full indoors microscope, check out the PUMA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYbFnKWQrrOaptE It's a really flexible and well-documented platform

[@rott921]

Is there any vignetting, black areas, or softness along the edge of the image? I've done some mounting cameras on microscopes and ran into this problem.

[@MicaelWidell]

Nope, the corners are bright and nice. No vignetting.

[@thenickdude]

This particular objective has a bizarrely large image circle (field number), so it works nicely even on full frame. A more typical objective struggles to fill an APS-C sensor completely, which is probably what you experienced. The other way to run into that problem is to have the tube length or tube lens too short for the objective's specs.

Does the tube has to be that long? And also, for us hobbyist, does it make sense to take macro ourselves and not just let you guys take it and we Google and KZbin it since they will more or less look the same if we take it ourselves later?

[@MicaelWidell]

Hi Micael, I enjoy a lot your vids and always learn something out of them. I was wondering how can I calculate magnification rate? For example I have a crop sensor canon M50, I use an eos es to m mount, three extensions tubes and a reverse ring with a manual 28mm to do most of my macros, I get cool pictures, but I don't know how much X magnification I'm getting, hope you can helo me with that. Greetings from Panama

[@MicaelWidell]

What I do is I just shoot a ruler, with the zero at the left edge of the frame. Say that yields me 9 mm at the right edge for this example. Then I divide the width of my sensor (36mm for full frame) by the width of ruler I see in my shot of the ruler (9mm) and I get the magnification which in this case is 36/9 = 4.

[@j.l.z.5775]

@@MicaelWidell hello again Micael, just for update and extra info for your followers who may have teh same doubts I did. My camera as I wrote before is an APS-C sensor Canon M50, it sensor width is 22.3 cm, so I used three neewer extension tubes (31mm, 21mm and 13mm), used a reverse ring and a 28mm quantaray manual lens. I did what you recommended with the rule and got a 5mm measure on the ruler, so divide sensor width with the 5mm and it gaves me 4.46x... and it is sooooo great magnification.

Sorry I don't know what variants of this lens exists. If you want 2x magnification it can also be achieved by mounting the lens closer to the camera - I think actually there is a variant of this adapter that does that so you get closer to 2x.

[@thenickdude]

@@MicaelWidell Unfortunately moving the lens closer to the camera shrinks its image circle, and this 4x objective doesn't have the leeway for it (it'd need a very oversized image circle to achieve that). The shorter versions of my tubes are for crop sensor cameras, where I move the objective inwards to shrink the full-frame image circle down to fit the crop sensor, so I'm not demanding any additional performance out of the objective. I have found 2x objectives online, but they tend to either have a small field number (struggle to cover an APS-C sensor, and full-frame is impossible), small working distance, require an additional tube lens, high price, or some combination of those. If I ever find a winner I'll add a link to it on my Thingiverse/Printables pages.
