A bit of lightweight mirrorless macro with the new and revised 7Artisans 60mm mkII macro. Learn more at: www.7artisans.com/en/
The lens was sent to me for review, but the thoughts are my own - no sponsored links or paid promotion. A relatively inexpensive, simple, lightweight macro for mirrorless cameras.

Thanks for sharing this excellent adventure into the wild with your very affordable options in equipment. The Pygmy rattlesnake was the best find on your walk! You can put a sheet of plexiglass between your camera and venomous snakes so you can defeat the heat signature and remain protected as you get right in there :) There really needs to be a backpack-style umbrella holder for image-makers :)

@FranzSolo-hb6lh 5 месяцев назад

Great video, great photos! I have a question regarding the DCR250, its diameter is given for 49mm, the same as the diameter of the front lens of the 7 artisan. Nevertheless, the video shows you screwing a step down ring to attach the DCR. What did I miss?

Great video. I have the AK diffuser for this lens. I shout manual flash power and sometimes struggle with the amount of light. Do you leave the flash on auto power? Ty

159$? Definitely buying this lens looks like a good cheap way for me to finally dabble into macro photography.

@huskythnoname4697 2 года назад

check this one has 2X magnification the PERGEAR 60mm F2.8 Ultra-Macro 2X, cost only $199.

@juliotamayo413 2 года назад

Actually, I had the version one of this lens and switched to version 2 and regret it. Incredibly, the first iteration of it, with the protruding tube and everything, was sharper and easier to use since it has a longer working distance.

@michaelxwhite 2 года назад

@@huskythnoname4697 2x magnification creates a little bit of fish eye effect across the entire frame without cropping. Isn't a 1x better if not cropping?

@linab4901 Год назад

Could you maybe make a video how to make the modt magnification pictures and what Camera you use 😃😊🌺

@acouragefann 2 года назад

Very much looking forward to your diffusion video - even with some softbox fabric on my flash and a big tracing paper diffuser "over" the lens, I find most of the "hairs" on arachnids and insects usually completely blown out by highlights/flash reflections :(

@oneeyedphotographer Год назад

The Olympus lens is 213 gm with lens hood, no caps. It's AF, but MF is available. It's now on my OM-D E-M1x camera, the heaviest Olympus camera, but it has GPS and two batteries. It's splash proof, so extend the hood to keep the glass dry, shield the flash and keep on shooting. The camera supports focus bracketting, 50 megapixels hand held,high resolution (not concurrently), 80 on a dripod.

@sbookholt 2 года назад

Great video! So the raynox 250 fits this 7artisians 60mm? I ask because raynox says it fits diameters of 52mm to 67mm, and the 7artisians is 49mm?

@terser 2 года назад

Thank you! They work great together - I just had to get a 49-43mm ring to thread it on - take a look at 11:58 in the video!

@DirtHoleee 2 года назад

I've been following you probably since I was 20 now, so about 11 years and you're still my macro idol. Always love and highly appreciate your stuff. I'd been eyeing up diffusers from Cygnustech for a little while. Would love a review. Maybe ones coming from you? Thanks Thomas!

@playeroflife Год назад

I bought the AK Diffuser mini over the cygna as it’s much better quality.

@actstuntcam 2 года назад

Starting to look like me with with the tiny epl5 and meike flash haha I was curious about that lens for my fuji, but not too much incentive to go after one over reverse lenses, without auto aperture

@klaytonvonkluge4905 2 года назад

Wow, lookin' amazing at F10 !!! I have the sigma 105mm, but haven't dedicated enough time to it to fully explore the possibilities.. Is this mainly for mirrorless only ? ( I have entry lvl Eos Canon )

@kj3d812 Год назад

Would love to see macro photography of things *other* than spiders and snakes. Those of us with Arachnophobia and Ophidiophobia find videos like this difficult or impossible to watch.

Yep. I hear you. That’s why I just shot macro flowers.
