about to pick up my Leica M-11P tomorrow, my first Leica. Trying to decide between this lens, and the Summilux 35mm 1.4...they are such amazing glass

Hi I have the Sony 24-105 lens miss the longer telephoto though . I would look for an extension tube which one could I buy ? I also have a macro 90mm just learning everything on that one . 😀

By chance, were any of those photos of the butterflies taken at Butterfly World ?

Should you turn off your vr when yourvon a tripod?

thank you for sharing..gave me some ideas

@Shane (or anyone who can identify it). What lens do you use for indoor pet photography, studio or in the livingroom ?

I bought this for my aps-c camera as my second macro lense. I'm completely new to macrophotography, but I wanted to capture pics of insects and other moving, live subjects. I initially used a 30mm macro, but I had to practically bump my lense into them before getting my maximum sized pics. Sony's 30mm macro was still great for things like flowers and bugs that don't run, but I immediately knew I needed to be able to be further back from my subject if I wanted to get lucky with more chances without scaring them away. So far I love this lense a lot. I've even used it for everyday stuff. Plus, I figure it's a lense that will still be relevant if I buy a full frame camera down the road.

I bought the Raynox DCR-250 and a 58 mm - 43 mm filter step-down adapter for my Tamron F004, 90 mm F/2.8 1:1 Macro. I thought this would be a good starting point, but I was wrong. I was able to achieve a magnification of plus 27% and of course sent everything back. The manufacturer speaks of plus 8 diopters, whatever he means by that. One thing I would like to try is a set of JJC AF macro extension rings set 12 mm 20 mm 36 mm for the Tamron Macro 1:1 on my Nikon D850. The manufacturers of such aids always assume 50 mm lenses without macro function.

Just FYI you can buy the latches separately and swap them out for either the regular push button ones, or the ones with an integrated TSA approved lock.

A pair of auto extension tubes can often solve the close focus needs of most folks using the FE 200-600/5.6-6.3 lens...one can also use the older FE 70-200/4 for close focus work...Also I and many others do not like external protruding telephoto zooms i.e. (sony FE 100-400/4)...Dirt...moisture... and damage when protruded because of...tree limbs...plus...falling down..etc. By the way... the FE 200-600/5.6-6.3 lens is great for concerts...crowds...street..air shows...wildlife...boats...even apartment living...etc...Cheers

I cannot find the animal detection option on my a7iii

Mixed👎

Oh you came to Milan! I wish i knew

I was wondering if anybody even compares this lens to the sigma and tamron 100-400. And you do ! Great rewiew with fine details💯

Just bought it and yes, I constantly have that nagging feeling like i should be using it more, or should i have just gone for the f4. But like you say, at the end of the day, it's amazing, and I am also really loving the 24mm on it, so it actually makes it a great street lens on holiday, weight aside. I think i was either going for the 16-35 GM and the 12-24 f4, or the 16-34 f4 and the 12-24 GM. I think I'm glad I went this way cause the 16-35 f4 is so tiny and useful, so it's all good.

Thank you very much

Ok. But why would you ever shoot macro without a tripod?

Great video, i love the calm presentation. Have you tried stacking two raynox DCR-250s? I have one dcr 250 which I paired with sigma 105 macro on a sony a7rv to give a 2.68:1 ratio. Produces heavy vignette in FF mode, but can be cut out in post. And vignette goes away in crop sensor mode. I do want the option for a bit more magnification and thinking about getting a second DCR-250. Another option is the MSN-202, but I feel I may struggle with that much magnification and possible vignette on a full frame sensor

For anyone watching this in 2024. If you google "Extension Tube Calculator" there is a good website that lets know know the new minimum focus and the 1:1 ratio.

Came here to find the information that might persuade me into buying a Peak Design strap. You provided all of the information that helped me and would help others in making that decision. Thank you so much for presenting the information in a straight forward easy to understand manner. Oh, and I might be a new Peak Design customer in a few minutes. Where are you Amazon? 🙂

😭💜!!!!!!

Hello Shane. I hope you see my comment and are able to respond. So I have a UA-cam channel where most of my videos are of my ant colonies. I really dislike using my cell phone to record my videos. I own a Sony A7 II and I am willing to spend under $500 for a macro lens to record 1080P 60FPS video. Which lens to purchase though? lol Most guides I find are on macro photography and in my case, I am not looking to so much record a single insect, but a section of a nest of multiple insects. I was looking at the Venus Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Lens or the Venus Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens. I have a tripod. What are your thoughts?

Hi Shane, what's your opinion about using this lens to capture the close-up of a person's iris?

Excellent review.

Well done, i appreciate the insights. I’m planning to match the zoom lens with the Sony A6700 soon.

Thank you for your Work !!🙏✨ I can’t find information anywhere. Could you please help me. Which distance from the Object in cm (or inches) with 26mm extension tubes on Sony fullframe a7iii with 35mm lens, 50 mm lens and 85 mm lens ? I would be very appreciated! Hello from Ukraine 🫶✨☺️

2024 update: look in the "crop and geometry" tab, click the pencil icon, enable Upright, then change Auto to Guided.

it actually looks quite compact!

Im in Nigeria ❤

Wow 🤩

Thanks for the tips. Especially about the ISO, I was wondering how I was supposed to stop down to increase the depth of field without darkening the exposure too much. It’s interesting because my area is quite sunny, so for non-macro I’m usually having to use ND filters if I want to shoot more wide open. But macro is the opposite…I want that blinding light so that I don’t have to crank the ISO as much. Also, you’re right about the hit rate! I’ve only started shooting with manual focus recently, and even with non-macro stuff I realized that getting something worth keeping is more of the exception than the rule when starting out 😆 Macro is a step up in difficulty. But I’m having fun with it so far on that Panasonic 100mm.

Have this set up with the a9 Mark II it's absolutely awesome You're right it's pin sharp

Awesome information. Just a quick question. When the camera is attached to the slide, is it held in place snugly or does the camera bounce around? I am considering a competitor (Camstrap) from France which attaches similarly Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of independent reviews.

Hello Shane! I really enjoyed your lens reviews. Glad to see you back again!

That's dope! How long is it? 6ft?

ty for the video!!

Thanks🙌

It's 2024, I bought this for $299 without a hood... I'll snag a spicy haoge hood for 40 bucks and call that a win.

I just came across this video trying to improve my dog photography and noticed the location at the 3:07 portion. First, love your Shiba as I have one as well. The other thing I noticed is the railroad bridge and the other bridge behind it. This is in Bourne, MA correct? If so, I love the area and frequent it in the summertime.

Great review, I subscribed to your channel

Nice review bro. Is it worth going for FE 90 2.8 OSS Macro or buy this (FE 85 1.8)? I can't afford 2 lenses in this focal length range.

very instructive, thank you

Shane, you are a nice young man and you have provided a great video about the Polar Pro filters. Your video has been helpful, so I thank you. I'm planning to purchase the Polar Pro ND+Polarizer filter. However, I'm not sure which stop I should purchase. I enjoy doing landscape photography and especially waterfalls. I read that one guy suggested purchasing both the 6 & 10 stop filters. What is your opinion on the stops for landscape and waterfalls?

They changed the whole app and it's gone now, or I just can't find it!! Infuriating!

great video thanks for sharing

I don’t like the metal “holder” …it’s fine when using the strap, but when stored while still attached to the camera I fear it will scratch my camera body or lens.

I'm buying this strap coming saturday. Found your video really helpful. I will be using it with the capture clip V3. I shoot mostly street photography, events and stuff for my girlfriends Instagram. I was planning on having the strap attached when shooting, but when storing the camera I'll just wear the strap as a bracelet while the camera is secured in the capture clip.

Very good and deep review. Thanks.

take it in the rain. kind of hard for ice to test weather sealing.
