Who knew? I am now into macro. Seriously. Immediately drawn in.
What is your top macro lens recommendation for a DX camera?
Hello Tony,
Does these equipment work for videography as well?
the cheapest way is to zoom your lense
How to set aperture in Canon 1300D for using reverse ring
What's the make and type of extension tube you used for this video …BTW I'm a huge fan your videos have been very helpful
What's best for capturing a ring shot at a wedding?
just wanna ask, do extension tubes create more bokeh when attached to the lens?since it appears to adjust the field of view of the shot.
Hi Tony,
I haven't got a very big budget is there any alternative way to do macro photography,
Thanks
Hello Tony !
i use an ef-s 24mm f/2.8 stm plus with a canon eos m3 body, 75mm magnifying glass and an LED torchlight for my macro photography. It's cumbersome. and sometimes i drop either my magnifying glass or my flashlight.
i would like to just hold the magnifying glass… love the halo light you added to the lens.
thanks Tony, for you awesome videos. Thumbs up.
I'm looking for a macro lens for canon 60d. Could you please suggest me a good one.
Tony, does it make sense to use extensions with a macro lens? I bought both. lol For some reason, I am having trouble getting a clear shot filling the frame. I have a very good Macro Lens, A AF-S Micro Nikkor 105 mmm 1:2.8G ED. I'll just keep practicing and studying, but I'm not happy with my results 🙁 Thanks for your tutorials!
What camera is that?
What macro lens would you recommend for taking photos of flowers using the Sony A-6000? Thanks for your books & videos. I've found them very helpful…
Whats a good macro lens for a rebel t6?
very well explained
extension tubes vs reverse lens adapters?! Go! (please)
Hi Tony, I like following your videos, I find you explain very clearly. Can you give me some suggestions of what would be a good buying lens for my Nikon D5500 camera. I would like to start macro photography, am interested in doing close up of beers. Waiting your reply, thank you
This was great to refresh my memory and teach me pointers regarding all aspects from lighting, to exposure, shutter speed, aperture and everything in between. I'm really starting to feel comfortable shooting again and my videos are coming out beautiful. This is a great guide for beginners and professionals. https://plus.google.com/b/117576921052578751760/117576921052578751760/posts/Fk3sfQJu8AY
Tony's videos are ALWAYS the best on each subject!! I thank you SO much for this. I live in Argentina, so I'm not sure if I can buy your book and get it past customs….
There are some vintage lenses very cheap, as the vivitar 55 macro and it does 1 to 1, what do you think of those vintage macro ones?
Hi Tony….all your videos are very rich in information and details for the learners. I really love watching it. Thanks for the clip and looking forward to seeing many more.
Thanks Tony this was great advice 🙂
"SUBSCRIBE & get the book with 9 HOURS of video" ?? – FREE ? 😉
Very clear and helpful video, many thanks 🙂
Can you please suggest some reliable extension tubes?
Hi Tony can you please suggest which macro lens would be better value for money the new Tamron 90mm with vc or the previous lens with vc?
As usual great tutorial!
Do you have a review/tests on the Sony 90mm 2.8f G Macro lens?
All your tutorials are clear and concise. Not sure why you focused on the ring flash, other than it is less expensive, but the twin flash for macro that Canon makes is much nicer and less flat light. Have you used the twin? I think you'd like it better. You're pretty unimpressed with the ring flash light it would seem. What I have not done is taking a portrait with the twin flash. They do come off the ring, so theoretically you could have 2 off camera flashes with independent controls for a close headshot. Macro portrait work, the wave of the future? Likely not so much, but if anyone would know I guess I'd ask you.
U need to use manual focus
Never mind.
shouldn't you be using a tripod?
Thank uuu very much
Will shooting at f22 cause light refraction?

Would u recommend a Marumi DHG Achromat Macro Lens 330 (+3) 55mm
I have a sony dsc0hx300 trying to find something compatible that might work with this camera. Do not have a lot of money, just 100 or less. looking for a decent diopter
nice one…
Does using extension tubes make you lose AF and a few stops of light?
nice info
Brilliant review.
Is it better to use the zoom button on the camera to get a close macro shot or is it better to move close to the subject to get that good macro shot? I always use my zoom button and I've noticed that I have issues with getting my camera to focus on the subject more.
Hi, I have a sigma 17/70 2.8-4.5 macro hsm, do you think it will be a good lens for macro? I bought this lens 2 years ago because I found it very cheap, never really took shoot with it.
The old Fujifilm S5600 has the amazing ability to take super macro, zoom in and place the lens only 1cm from the subject! It is amazing! For macro with a bridge camera it is unbeatable. Check out some of my shots with this camera on flickr.com search for Stormlover2007. ?
Hi Tony would you also use an extension tube on a dedicated macro lens, or is that not necessary?
Which Macro Lens will you recommend ?
Which lens did you use?? i could see that was a sigma.. but which one?
Kenko FTW
