Why EVERYONE NEEDS to own a MACRO LENS!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Secret's out! My Swiss army knife lens is a 100mm MACRO! Anyone else guilty?

[@mnk6514]

Me

[@PhoenixAnthem]

A Macro lens will be my next purchase. I do have a "nifty fifty" but I want to get a more dedicated macro.Currently looking at the EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro. *Drools*

[@elistaflaj]

Peter McKinnon man stop posting super interesting video at dinner time 😉 i

[@diydwight7980]

We're looking to add a macro to our Panasonic G7 (4/3 size). Any Suggestions Pete?

[@jaikavi5464]

My rokinon 100mm macro should arrive today. Excited!

[@dhananarendra]

normal people: "oh it's raining" Peter: "B-ROLL!"

[@KellyPettit]

I love the 2 min vids. A wealth of info, well produced, well delivered, to the point (so rare), entertaining and knowledgeable. AWESOME. THANK U.

[@bencochran567]

I honestly fell into the same trap of thinking macro lenses were only good for macro shots. Thanks Pete! Always learning something new!

[@richie6799]

i also just wanted to add for people that didnt know you could even get a macro lens for roughly $150 - $250 and they are really good. only problem is that they dont have zoom or stablization but they are still great for macro, portrait and even landscape.

[@mod9247]

Amazing work! I am so happy that you finally reached the million subscribers. You inspired me a lot since I have started watching your videos. Thank you!

[@rasmachris94]

I need a macro lens - I currently have a 18-55 and while I can manage some cool shots with it, there isn't quite enough there to really make the shots pop and show as much detail as I'd like. I hate insects but taking a super close up shot of a bee was my first "Woah" moment and I don't think I'll ever forget it.

[@TheVegetarianBaker]

This video is perfection. Straight to the point. I love my macro lens

[@captainjack1029]

I'm awed that you were fascinated by the rain at the end of the video, and promptly took out your camera and shoot for some b-roll without any hesitation! If it were me, I'd just think negatively about it and dismiss it. Again, thanks for inspiring all of us here with your vids!

[@cashino]

You are so right. I take my Tokina 100mm f/2.8 AT-X Lens everywhere with me now, absolutely wonderful for Portraits. Even better than my 85mm 1.8~

[@bonquva]

isnt 100mm a bit too much zoom xd? are there any around like under 50 mm that are as good? :)

[@lohne87]

Your phone? :-p no but you can use 35mm - it takes a lot more skill , but people use it to portrait :)

[@MrDblclik]

Dude I just have to say, one of the biggest things you've inspired me on the last few months that I watch your videos is: awesome b-roll and unique photos are EVERYWHERE! I used to keep my camera with me all the time to shoot cool stuff I saw, never thought "just flip that over to video mode..."

[@stavesmcdaves9144]

What?

[@CobraKyle]

You make Tuesday my new favorite day of the week with these videos.

[@Sjmm21]

I've had the non L Ef version for almost 2 yrs now! I am in love with it. HUGE interest in Macro! It's so cool to know that I have a piece of gear just like yours!! I have horribly shaky hands so I can't get too much with it handheld sadly. Saving up for the updated model! Thanks for showing that it can be used for video. Just branching into video so I am glad to know I can use my current gear!!

[@avinashmurthy9437]

Hey Peter, could you list out your lenses in the order of most usage. When you don't know what to expect from a shoot , what are your 4 go to lenses ? Congrats on 1 mil :D

[@JoshJ1563]

Avinash Murthy Well my recommendation is a 24-70 and a 70-200 that’s pretty much all you need and if you need a macro then bring a macro lens or a extension tube that’s pretty much all you need, unless you mysteriously don’t know your going to do wildlife photography you don’t need anymore and you can also get a telephoto converter if your that worried about needing everything

[@seejayceallaigh5575]

I've had a macro lens in my bag for a long time but almost never pulled it out until I watched this. I'll definitely be exploring it a bit more now. Thanks for another great video!

[@brookeshipp6856]

I love how these 2 minute Tuesday’s are not even 2 minutes

[@Hetgamingblokje]

[@Anondez]

This was as close as you’re probably ever gonna get

[@dlovisuals]

I have the Canon 24-70 f/4 and it has a macro mode built in. Love that I can get in close.

[@Hagazo]

Early squad. Hey, Peter, can you make a video about camera bags? Would be awesome to have a good recommendation for a camera bag for light run and gun street vlogging setup. Thanks and once again, congratulations on 1M

[@LukaFilipan]

Lowepro Protactic series is amazing! I have the smaller 350AW and it's so rugged but still light, best investment ever.

[@Max-fj1qf]

350AW is amazing

[@Moanfoto]

have it too. the best BP I have ever used.

[@michaelsoueid2052]

Hey there Hagazo, I bought the LowePro 450AW (the largest in their series) for its extra space. I thought it would be too big but as a 5'10 individual it was a perfect fit (maybe even a bit smaller than I thought). Highly recommend it

[@caiminjacob2798]

Hagazo I use the same one as Peter, the protactic 450aw, seriously well made and really light weight. Climbed a mountain during a rain storm with it and ally gear was bone dry the entire time. It even comes with a built in weather sheild that you can pull out.

[@Tyranizpop]

I use my macro for everything. it's actually one of my favorites for portraiture because of the combination of detail and bokeh is perfect for my style

[@err-ig2zo]

I don't understand why people dislikes this type of cool videos 😑

[@anabragaphotography5967]

I agree completely, everyone should play around with a macro lens (the all-in 100mm). Amazing rain!!

[@jason_kovac]

Gorgeous lens, what's the Nikon version of that type of lens?

[@Photomeike]

Nikon has a 105mm f2.8 Macro and a 60mm f2.8 version as well.

[@jason_kovac]

Photomeike thanks man, appreciate it. 😊

[@Photomeike]

No problem. Also if you are ok with third party lenses. Tamron makes a 90mm f2.8 Macro that is a great alternative and less expensive!

[@jason_kovac]

Photomeike thanks will look into that one too. 😊

[@CNDCTR-V]

would recommend the nikkor 60mm 2.8 D, one of the sharpest lens nikon ever made.

[@winstonmontero9489]

I remember watching the first one of your videos while searching for tips for one of my photography projects at school and getting hooked. I think I saw all your videos within two days. I remember watching the video when you decided to quit your job and pursue KZbin and photography full time and getting so inspired. Last year has been full of ups and downs for me and I am currently unemployed. But your story has motivated me to not sit idle by, but to pursue bettering myself with the free time I have. I am starting a carpentry business and have done a couple of small pieces for friends. If you ever want a desk or coffee table let me know. I would love this camera to shoot videos and pictures of my work to post on scocial media. Finally put all those photography lessons from school to use. 😅

[@Andru]

I love my macro lens, and I agree. I use it for much, much more than macro shots (although it’s obviously perfect for that too!)

[@charlotterisdale1589]

Love the fact that I find myself asking questions and the next day or two later you post a video on exactly what I was thinking of. MAGIC? Thank you Peter! So helpful.

[@aramislerik]

LOVE it... I got the chance to borrow the L macro from a friend and I fell in love with the way the colours looked and with the sharp and detailed results. It was the first time shooting an L lens and that was the point at which I decided to invest in quality Glas instead of buying more and more cheap lenses:D

[@EsteeWhitePhotography]

Exactly the information I needed - confirmed by a reputable KZbinr :) I have used macro lenses but I don't buy them. They are out of my $$ range and most importantly don't give me the extreme magnification that I like working with. So I prefer using extension tubes, reverse rings & microscope objectives... Recently I had an argument - well more like a discussion, with another photographer who claimed that everything shot with a macro lens is - macro photography... I tried to explain to him more about the true macro ratio 1:1 and how a macro lens ( unlike ext. tubes, reverse rings and microscope objectives ) doesn't get out of focus just because you are slightly further away. So with macro lenses you can shoot macro but you can also shoot close-ups and regular photos, that don't have the required magnification ratio to be considered true macro. Really good video, thank you for sharing :)

[@Memphis_Whistle]

Peter, I've got to say that you are one hell of an inspiration! Cheers to you from Texas! I've always had an eye for taking photos and I've developed so much over the years just observing and reading about it online. What really brought it out in me was being a skateboarder for the past 15 years now, always seeing those huge lenses and sweet shots in skate magazines really opened my eyes to the world of photography. Not too long ago I purchased a D3500, few weeks later I upgraded the kit lens for a Sigma 17-50 F2.8 and now I'm shooting on a used D600. It's odd, but when I find a passion in something, i just jump in head first. Mind you, this is my first comment on one of your videos but I've been watching your videos and learning for the passed year now. Thank you for the insight and knowledge you pass down to so many others like me. Good vibes sent to you and your family! Have a blessed one!

Yep! A good macro lens is never a mistake. I made all of this seasons Team Photos for TSG Hoffenheim with the Canon 100mm L Macro...

[@adriannicholas5770]

[@blabmouth02]

I have the 100mm macro and the 16-35 macro. With my nifty 50, it's the only lenses I need! I also have a 10-18 and the kit 18-55, but they don't get as much love as the first three 😍

[@ryanpeterdsouza5569]

[@KunalYadavvlogs]

Peter i am just 16. and i know it is going to be amazingly rare that you would read my comment. but anyways it is not a long time i have been to your channel, one day i went on searching on youtube about transitions in premiere pro. i saw many videos and was getting and idea how we can use premiere pro i am just a beginner. but finally your video came up of transitions in which you taught people about masking the video. i really got it now its easy for me. after that i saw your many video and realized you put 2 minute video every Tuesday and that is the video i just love it. well i don't have a camera and i don't know if i will get one or not. but one thing i know is that never give up and do something which you love. Even you quit for one year but came up blasting. and that's where you found yourself. you were very inspiring in the video. and that cap will be with you for the rest of your life and i know it. because you are not over yet their is a lot yet to come. people will love you for that. congratulations for your 1 million subscribers. if you read this fully i love you and good luck for future and THANK YOU. please reply if you can.

[@stevebernacki4591]

Ok, so I don't usually leave comments, and I'm clearly doing so here to have a shot in the contest. But honestly, I've been watching you're channel for some time now and it's really brilliant stuff. Always a good place to find some inspiration. Keep up the good work.

[@Travis-u1x]

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Thank you so much for this. I have just ordered the Canon 24-105 mm F/4 macro and the guy told me this same information, but this is the first video I have found on this!

[@AaronGeyer]

Awesome! A macro lens is still on my list of lenses to buy. Need to bump up the priority!

[@dirtywater5336]

I have the EF 100mm f/2.8 IS USM as well. I've done a lot of product photography with it for my sisters cosmetic line and obviously flowers, and even some portraits. Though the 100mm focal length can make portraiture difficult on an APS-C camera, which is like using a 160mm lens on a full frame. I have to stand so far back from the subject so it's not always practical for portraits. It is a handy lens though

[@SvenVee]

*Shame I just blew my budget on my new 17-50mm 2.8 lens, although I do know now what to save up for next in my lens* *arsenal. Some really good points here Pete! As always, your videos help me out on my path to become a professional* *videographer & film maker. Appreciate ya* ! 🙏 ✌

[@LBBGamingVids]

you should definitely get a macro lens like the 100mm, great versatility like Peter said in the video. One of my friends who does wedding photography always has one of those with him as his fav lens and shoots great pics with it!

[@mattverinsky7081]

17-50 2.8 is also a great lens to upgrade from the kit lens

[@SvenVee]

yeah for sure, and indeed the 17-50 is pretty neat so far as far as I can tell, only a bit more wobbly than the kit lens (which has pretty good vibration reduction built in, whereas the Sigma 17-50mm has optical stabilization in combo with a lot more weight so a bit more shakiness). And yeah bro, thanks! That sequence from the cooking from a couple vids back kinda proves all of his points haha + that he's just a great videographer of course :)

[@byaleisha2202]

Sven Vee completely agreed so informative get more out of this then I do when I go into a camera store

[@sudhishhar8813]

Probably a quite stupid question for you camera geeks out there, but what is the difference between a macro lens and a prime lens. I own a 50mm prime lens and I know its used for portraits. But my friend had a 50mm macro lens and i couldn't find a single difference. Someone wanna help me out and tell me?😄😃

[@BCMSi]

Did anyone ever answer? They aren't mutually exclusive. Prime means you are fixed at 50mm, as opposed to a Zoom lens which might have a range of 24-105mm or whatever, which would allow you to zoom in or out as you please. There are advantages to both. Macro means you can focus on things which are very close to the camera and pick up a lot of detail, so if you wanted some really good flower/insect/other type photos this would be an advantage. Both yours and your friends are 50mm Prime, his is additionally macro. That is a very shallow run down.

[@sudhishhar8813]

LoH Bros Yeah, Nobody ever replied. Thanks... 😊☺

[@RuteSoares19]

A macro lens was already going to be my next purchase photography wise, but you sold me on it even more! I will use it mostly for macro though, because that's my favorite type of photography!

Peters seems to be even better so maybe I will need to step my game up and invest a little more soon! On a side note: that pizza making montage was the bomb! Had to watch it like four times in a row! Just so aesthetic
