My goodness. So I randomly click on this video and thought it would be kinda interesting and it turns into the most insane, detailed, coolest comparison ever. And now I know about the focus stacking app! Will have to use that, I don't know if I trust photoshop over a dedicated, easier to use app

[@wolfamri]

[@alinnan5603]

Ha,ha, easy with that excitement. He made it sound so easy about the picture stacking when in fact it is not. It is not an app, it is a computer software and it is not free. And nobody said it is easy to use, you really have to know what you are doing.

[@opx4real]

As someone who's worked on many KZbin productions, it took me a second to really appreciate your weatherman style setup and how interactive it allows you to be with your media. When you pointed right to the contacts on the adapter I thought "hold up... That was too smooth." 😆

[@wolfamri]

😂😂 Thanks, Alex. I’ve been thinking to make more outdoors for a looooong time. But I don’t live in California or Greece, where the sun shines every single day and every time I want to go out and shoot, I think nahhhh, not good enough 😂. I still plan an outdoor series because I see that people like them more.

[@PotatoGnome]

As many previous comments said, this is the most complete video on KZbin about how good the 18-55mm is for macro photography ! This should be recommended to anyone who wants to get started with macro before buying an expensive lens.

[@wolfamri]

Thank you so much! I need to say though that this video is mostly about magnification. It does show that the sharpness isn’t on par with other solutions and that you lose light with some tools. Plus: no doubt a dedicated lens is more convenient. But: it definitely can be done and not everyone wants to spend money on a dedicated macro lens.

[@Patrick-vi9xr]

Amazing comparison! Didn't expect that tubes, ranyox or reverse mount can give such beautiful results without dedicated macro lens.

[@wolfamri]

Thanks, Patrick. I didn't expect that either tbh.

[@esterix101]

Honestly I made better macro photos on my Kit lens with extension tubes compared to many people with dedicated macro lenses. It works wonders

[@felipecardoso6909]

I rarely comment, and I have seen dozen of macro photography videos. This is by far the best well executed comparison I have ever seen. Chapeau!

[@wolfamri]

Thank you so much, Felipe. I really appreciate that!

[@ronanvialon7695]

Hey ! Just wanted to add something, you can keep your aperture control while reverse mounting your lens, you just need to get an adapter like the meike mk-c-up reverse mount adapter which basically passes the information from your camera to your lens through a cable, it also protects your contacts and you can add a clear filter at the very tip of your set up to protect the inside of the lens from dust.

[@wolfamri]

Thanks for the input, Ronan. Let me pin that comment so that people can see it.

[@ronanvialon7695]

@@wolfamri Glad that I helped. (Technically you also keep your auto focus for those who like to do that)

[@skakdosmer]

I own one of these. Mine is a very cheap plastic thing from Aputure, and I have to say I don't like it for the very simple reason that it sticks out from the back of the reversed lens and limits how close I can get. It's possible to mount a ring flash to it, but at high magnification the flashlight won't reach the subject, because the flash sticks out beyond the subject. So I prefer the work-around.

[@ronanvialon7695]

@@skakdosmer I see why that would be an issue, but that also depends on the lenses you're using and how much magnification you need.

Awww, thank you! Enjoy the ride. Macro is super fun. But don’t forget that it’s a lot about lighting too! So a speedlight with a diffuser (even DIY if your budget is tight) will boost your results big time 😉

@@wolfamri I believe the 800D t7i is around 1000+ which is already in my add to cart. My budget is around 2k-2.5k. My goal is to make extremely close photograph then zooming out. I think the set up you have mentioned here is my go to.

[@wolfamri]

So when you say zooming out, your intention is to have one shot extremely close, and a second (or more in between) that show the complete subject. I don't think the 11-16mm will give you that flexibility. Sorry for asking so many questions, but I don't want to give you a wrong recommendation. What exactly do you have in mind?

My auto accident from three years ago is forcing me to buy new equipment. The car started on fire with all of my gear in the backseat!

I have several collectible coins stored away just waiting to be photographed… An example would be “The divine comedy Paradiso 5 Oz coin” I would like to get some macro shots but haven’t decided how I’ll set it up. I’m not sure if you use Instagram but my thought is to post the photo in sections. When you go to my profile you would see 1 photo taking up 9 tiles. Then I would post a photo with the coin by itself including the reverse. If you catch my drift anyways…Might be something to make a video on if you haven’t already. Take care

Thanks for the comparisons and all of the information! Using just a 90mm macro lens and my Sony A7iv it sometimes seems that I get better looking images if I back up just a little for more depth of field and then crop the image afterwards for composition and to make the subject a little larger in the frame instead of getting as close as absolutely possible. Focus stacking takes care of this also but it's nice to get some great looking shots out in the field without having to go through that.

[@wolfamri]

Hi and thanks for your feedback. That's totally valid and basically using your full frame camera like a crop sensor camera - that would create a larger depth of focus despite some people saying that's not correct (while it clearly is). If you want to up your game in regard to depth of focus, consider a flash and a diffuser. I've tested that in one of my other videos and it makes macro photography much easier.

You may try and use om-d 1 + 60 2.8 macro. This camera have in body focus stacking feature - great for macro.

Saw the thumbnail and had to click! I took a photo of this type of spider the other day. Only have extension tubes atm but going to try adding the Raynox this weekend.

Enjoy! They are the most amazing spiders to photograph because they sit still AND look in your direction AND look spectacular alienlike 😆.
