UPDATE: i used that raynox quite a bit since the video. I think that it is probably best to use it with a focal lenght between 50mm and 100mm. Over 100mm, at least with my RF100-400, the DOF is really tiny, and i think we may have too much diffraction problems if you close too much your aperture... Again, that Raynox complete very well my laowa 65mm for exemple. Much more fun with it. Cheers!
I love the raynox, but have not used it enough - it's fun on the 75-300 olympus lens I have but you are right on the diffraction, its much more pronounced compared to the dedicated macro lens' - I have not actually tried it with any of my macro lenses yet!
@@BMadPhoto yes, that gadget is convenient in some situations. It gives me something like 2.9 : 1 magnification with my Laowa. Thanks for the comment BMadPhoto! 😀👍
@@Chrispitchwildlife Thank you for the explantation and the (frenchy, isn't it? ) accent .. I ordered a Raynox DCR250mm and will try i t on the field. But i read that it works perfectly for 75mm and more focal lengths... Will keep you posted as soon as i tested it enough... regards from Dakar-Sénégal
Chris!!!! Your photos are simply amazing. When it warms up, I am going to have to go back out and try to get shots like you!!! Absolutely beautiful. 🤗💖
Thank's again for commenting Rat! 😀 Here we have 2 season: too hot, and ok hot. We are in the middle of ok hot with a bit of nice wind. Yeah, I saw a nice leafhopper today, I tried many stacks on him. It will be a surprise if it works or not. Since I got a new fast flash I enjoy more stacking in slow burst mode. I hope you ll have fun! 😀
Hello Chamelon. Sorry I don't have anything with me to check. But I guess the corners never bothered me. I am usually already happy when my subject is looking good and "in focus" at 3:1 I will try to remember and check it in 3 weeks... Thanks for the comment, cheers! ✌️🙂
hi Faryd, all manual when I do macro. I just did a video about my settings if you want to check. 😀 Cheers! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gdg_ngELAY8.htmlsi=zwk2AD9hISLuaONd
@@faryd.dchannel7333 autofocus can be very messy with high minification, but it should work. Here is the answer from DPreview: "It works. But as it is a macro /close up attachment you are limited in focus distance. You have to keep the lens within a certain distance to subject to focus. AF works very well."
Hello Macro! I have no idea. I will see if I can try with what I have and maybe put an answer in my next video which is about all those things. Tubes, rings and Raynox on different lenses. Cheers! 😀✌️
Ok I tried. With a bit more than 1 cm away from the lens I lost a 3 mm of magnification. Focusing manually at minimum focus distance on my scale. 🧐 But, that was with my RF35. Who knows what happen if I try on a different lens!
Thank's for your comment! With the Raynox attached to the RF 100-400, the distance is between 9 and 10cm. Attached to the Laowa at minimum focus distance it is at 2.6cm . This is what I remember. Cheers! 😀
I just tried on my Laowa 65mm. It works but you gain very little and you loose 2 cm of working distance. And with one more glass I am not sure about the quality/distortion/diffraction etc... I think it's not worth it.
