In this video I discuss and explain a great and easy macro technique which isn't well known. I use a Canon 500D close up lens (also called a diopter or close up filter) on my Tamron 28-200mm all-in-one zoom lens and I get TRUE lifesize 1:1 image ratios of small subjects. Insects, flowers, patterns in nature and more open up an entire world of new photo subjects. My technique and simple accessory make it easy and fun!

This was so helpful. I managed to get a 67mm Canon closeup filter on ebay and looking forward to trying out your technique.

I loved your sample images Don! In case any of your viewers can’t find the Canon 500D, Nisi do a nice one which is available in 77mm and another smaller size (maybe 55mm). I got the larger one myself as it fits all but my Sony 200-600mm. Like you said, it’s a great way to carry macro facilities without the weight and bulk of a separate lens. Looking forward to your next video Don 👍

Thanks Stephen, I'm not familiar with the Nisi diopter but it looks good on first glance, thanks for the tip! I've put a link to that product in the description.

Hi Don, One final question> While using the close up lens 500D, does it matter if I leave the focusing distancing at infinity or should I switch to the closer distance. Thanks!

@DonMammoserPhoto 2 года назад

You'll want to always manually focus at the closest distance your lens allows. Then it becomes a case of moving in tiny increments back and forth from your subject to find the exact focus, then shoot.

Hi Don, Does the Canon 77mm 500d close-up lens work with the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens as well? I've been using it on the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L is II USM at the moment. Thank you. and thanks for the great videos

@DonMammoserPhoto 2 года назад

Hi Robert, As long as the close-up filter fits properly on the end of a lens it will work. It may not always give lifesize 1:1 ratios but it will still allow that lens to focus closer. There's never any harm in putting it on and trying it out - see if you like it and if it works for you.
