Extreme Macro Photography: Teleconverters 

I just realized that I forgot to mention the probably most obvious advantage of those converters: they work with a wide variety of lenses, enable many new perspectives and (at least a 1.4x) will fit into almost any camera bag. Especially for passionate nature and wildlife photographers I think they are a must-have! Cheers, Max

Great video, and you read my mind on combining teleconverters. =)

Thanks. I would like to see a future video on using a flash in combination with this setup describing the details of exposure etc.

Good presentation. And, it answered my question!

Cool

Thanks for this video! I do photography of spider silk for my lab, and always need the extra magnification boost. I think I will try stacking 2 2x teleconverters with a macro lens and seeing how good it is.

Here's the question. I use a vintage macro lens, with dedicated front additional lens. It makes the magnification x2. I've recently purchased rynox 250 and it works just fine makeing it two things hanging in front of my lens. It's an old minolta md lens adapted to my sony a6300 via converter. Do you think this teleconverter placed after md to nex converter will be a good idea?

For a Sigma 105mm mounted on a Sony a7iii camera, what extension tube and teleconverter would work?

Hi, I have a question. I have a mp-e 65 mm macro lens and I was trying to find a way to increase the magnification to 10x. Your idea to use the teleconverter seems interesting, but I haven't seen any video online about this possibility. Further, all the teleconverter companies says that it is not possible to use in combination with the mp-e lens. I was close to buy a Kenko teleconverter 2x, but they say in their chart that it is not compatible at all. What do you think, have you ever tried such configuration? thanks

I have a Nikon D500 with a 105mm f2.8 macro lens. equipped with both the 2x nikon teleconverter and the battery grip it makes the whole setup quite unyeildy especially now that I am also considering getting a flash to go on top of it. I like to take pictures of live bugs and flowers. I was considering returning the 2x teleconverter because of this but I like the idea of having the options of getting higher magnification or more working distance. what are your opinions on this? I am also looking to get a tripod, and since I can get a big discount on the peak design tripod while using other accessories from them I am highly considering it. I do have concerns with that as well regarding ball head movement, ease of setting up without disturbing or scaring the subject, as well as being able to easily setup the tripod somewhere that might not be ideal. Also, regarding the flash, do you think the Godox V350 will be sufficient? It will be my first flash and I will need to learn from scratch on how to use it.

A 2x TC doubles the f stops. F11 becomes F22.
