I wanted a budget macro lens so I bought the 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 Macro II. I tested the lens for insect macro photography and I am quite satisfied with the macro lens performance.

I love the way Robin casually holds the camera in one hand and a flash in the other and somehow produces the most amazing photos, even with a manual focus lens. Macro Master!

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks Ian, you are too kind! The technique is not the best, but it is quite versatile, I can move my light around and make it come from anywhere I want!

@davidoshaughnessy493 Год назад

Allo, allo .😀.

@ChristopherBonis Год назад

No fair that Robin can go out in January and find the most amazing insects/arachnids meanwhile it’s like -10 Fahrenheit in Boston and I can’t even go outside to take pictures.

@gocekuzman.4037 Год назад

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it before, but I always enjoy the music in your videos. They match your style and make the videos more enjoyable. Thank you for the quick overview of this lens!

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks Goce for noticing, it was not easy looking for the right music!

@sathitpornpattarasagoondee1593 Месяц назад

Thank you for this video, Good decision for beginners macro as me. I already bought the lens

@anthonyskellern5970 5 месяцев назад

Impressive performance - you have some wonderful insect life! Terrific photos... thanks for sharing your superb images, Robin

@CheikoSairin Год назад

Great video! The information on the 7ARTISANS 60mm F2.8 II lens as a solid budget macro option was very informative. The visuals and explanations made it easy to understand the capabilities of the lens. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and expertise.

@jfalcon1977 11 месяцев назад

Amazing video as always, Robin. I totally agree about the very well chosen music for your videos. This is a very interesting lens, I don't have any macro lens yet and certainly it is nice to have a budget option. Your results with flash technique are really good!

@davidward4045 Год назад

My favorite...macro insects! Thanks Robin!

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks David, my favourite too

@davidstephens6256 Год назад

Great review and perfect timing as I ordered one last week and it is being delivered today. I cannot wait to begin shooting

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks David! Hope you like the lens!

@davidoshaughnessy493 Год назад

Loved this one Robin.

@Allaboutstory 10 месяцев назад

That's some fine photography ❤ amazing 🎉

@gustavohartel5159 Год назад

Great pics! Hope I can try my own very soon, thank you Robin! Great video as always

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks! Go give it a try

@Gogogordy1 Год назад

I have a TTArtisans 40mm macro, on a Sony APS-C and it has provided hours and hours of enjoyment and yielded some amazing results…so I totally get your reasoning behind buying this Robin. Anyone with even a passing curiosity regarding macro photography will find that any $100 macro lens is a small but good investment.

@robinwong Год назад

Indeed, there are so many budget options and it is good to explore photography without having to break the bank.

@pierrelachance123 Год назад

Hello Robin, thank you this video. It's timing was perfect for me.

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks, glad you found that useful

@johnstephenson7620 Год назад

Thank you for the great information, I have been wondering about this lens

@robinwong Год назад

Not a bad lens at all, quite worth the money!

@milodermick2981 Год назад

Very interesting Lens, i love results

@ubepalitaw Год назад

will try them for product shots

@bobsyeruncle4841 9 месяцев назад

you have some amazing shots there

@markattardo Год назад

Your results make this look like a great little lens!

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks Mark. I really do like the lens

@julioaponte3197 Год назад

Robin this lens turns out some nice macro shots. I own a Canon 100 macro lens and the results are a look alike of this artisans lens! Nice work!

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks! The 7Artisans is no slouch!

@ikonseesmrno7300 Год назад

The output from that lens is great! I'll have to see what mounts are available, as that would be nice on one of my film bodies. Thanks for the info!

@robinwong Год назад

It has native micro four thirds mount

@jeffslade1892 Год назад

Thank you Robin. Good presentation as usual. If we look at full frame macro lenses, most of them are about 100mm and none particularly fast. This is to produce a useful DoF. On MFT 60mm is probably a good compromise for macro. I notice the lens does have the macro scale markings alongside the focus distance. And that flash snood diffuser, cool 😎

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks Jeff. Well for macro purposes, we don't shoot wide open much, and the closer we get to the subject the more we stop down the F-number for more depth of field. So I am ok if we don't get bright aperture, as I mostly shoot F5.6 or narrower for my macro shots. However, the bright aperture helps if you use the lens in a non-macro environment, for example, shooting portraits!

@leckywoznicki5393 Год назад

Thank you :)

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks Lecky, glad I can share

@extremelydave Год назад

If I didn't already have the Olympus 60mm macro, I would have checked this out. I thought the images were great.....then again, we all know you are the master of macro......

@robinwong Год назад

Thanks Dave, and yes that Olympus 60mm Macro is probably one of the best macro lenses ever!

@AguilaDeOnix85 Год назад

I'd like to check out the Laowa 50 2.8 one day since has 2x magnification. This one looks like a good bang for your buck. Nice photos!

@robinwong Год назад

2x magnification is definitely a huge plus! However I don' need it, as my bugs here in Malaysia are not so tiny. And I don't want to just shoot the eyes of the insects, I want to show the body too!

@kagemushanz Год назад

I love this lens, it's fantastic value for money. I've found it much easier to work with than the Olympus 30mm, especially for focus accuracy and working distance. Using it with an E-M10 Mark4 and don't weight of the lens is still comfortably balanced. Accidentally moving the aperture ring can be a little bit of a nuisance but not a big deal

@robinwong Год назад

The 60mm definitely is easier to work with if you need more distance from your subject, for example shooting a bug!

@ridealongwithrandy Год назад

Good stuff Robin, I have the 60mm Oly lens, and can not afford the new 90 mil macro. I bought some dried beetles and bugs on Amazon (unethical??) But I thought about putting them on leaves in the backyard to practice, and my kitty won't eat them! Cheers!

@rahulnath.h.a 8 месяцев назад

You have such a wonderful smile and a cheerful face sir. 🙂

@JimiCanRead Год назад

1:39 have you done a video about the macro filter? I think what I really need to do for my macro experiments is to get a flash but I’m lazily looking at other things lol

@rodmehta5356 Год назад

Thanks Robin 👍 Do you ever try to find out the names and habits of some of these bizarre little fellas? I get into mushrooms (as a photographic subject) when they come up down here and am fascinated by their weird looks and life cycle. Using a sigma 105, f2.8, and a led light with diy modifier. Cheers!

@MichaelGerrard Год назад

There are so many great lens options for m43.

@robinwong Год назад

Indeed, it is a good thing to have options!

@ezekielkok1848 Год назад

Hi Robin! Lovely work! Which Olympus body would you recommend? I have a Sony A7s. Would it be good enough?

@jonzwikk1582 Год назад

very nice macro shots. so many interesting bugs. where is this place?

@iain4366 5 месяцев назад

@robinwong 5 месяцев назад

Thanks!

@jianfeiwang1654 11 месяцев назад

As always, excellent video. I am wondering how you made focus ajustement when you hold off camera flash in another hand? You put down that flash to focus or just use one hand? That is my concern when considering a manual macro lens. Also, Laowa has a 50mm macro lens too, seems better in all aspects than this one, also higher in price of course. Wondering do you have a chance te review that one? Maybe contact Laowa?😊

@ebirding 7 месяцев назад

When using my Olympus camera, I can’t get my ISO to be set at 200 without it automatically setting the exposure to -3.0. Is that how you are shooting it or are you able to alter some settings to be able to adjust the exposure?

@krukower 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the great review, 100 $$? Where????

@marcuzas1 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your experience. But where did you find this lens for $100USD?

@Crazyworldd160 Месяц назад

i am buying this lens today ! any tips please ?

@thierrygraphie5521 4 месяца назад

I suppose we don't have the exif with this lens and no indication in the viewfinder

@Crazyworldd160 Месяц назад

can i use this lens without the hand shed for the flash what do you call it ? thank you

@mattdixon2486 Год назад

how did you focus the manual lens if your other hand was on the flash?!

@tf2juice 11 месяцев назад

does it matter what camera I use?

@guyracine7998 Год назад

Hi Robin. I thought an autofocus lens would be preferable to do macro. It doesn’t seem to be a problem here !

@emudojo Год назад

Not at all, i find at 1:1 autofocus is really hard

@Photo_CB Год назад

@@emudojo Yes, for macro its often better to focus by moving closer to and further from from your subject rather than focussing the lens.

@robinwong Год назад

I generally do use AF when I shoot with the Olympus 60mm. But if I go all the way to full magnification, in some situations, manual focusing is more effective.
