I recently had a chance to work with this lens on a promotional video. One thing to be aware of, since the lens is so stopped down, be sure that the lens and the camera sensor are immaculately clean. Every spec of dust will be visible in well exposed portions of the frame

[@JohnKimbler]

That holds true for every macro lens once you get close to, and over, life size magnification. I've become one with the universe and the spot healing brush in post.

[@gravelboycauty]

1:05 ... I live in the UK and I was like "WOW! That's so cheap" HA

[@johnhernlund539]

This is a spectacular review...thanks!

[@azbluefox]

The chocolate cake shot at 8:40 was VERY impressive !!

[@faithhouse6111]

Thank you for this excellent and detailed video!!

[@freednighthawk]

I don't need this lens. But I want it. I'll find things to do with it!

[@HiHaiNgo]

i wanted to add a focus ring/gears on the lens. do you have any recommendations?

[@coyotecsgo9148]

hello, with leds off, is it possible to get good shots outside (with only sunlight ?)

[@fugander]

Any aspects on using this lens on crop sensor camera vs full frame? For Sony crop, would it make any difference using Canon mount with adapter or the Sony mount version?

[@lalitshejwal8856]

Hey, any tips to cut down/avoid reflections of the led lights or the lens rim itself when shooting watches with a reflection glass, shot type tight top down. I was stuck on a recent shoot trying to fight reflections caused by the led on the watch dial

[@GADKlc]

Solid video! Unlike other reviews, you said important characteristics in in the beginning, like difference from macro lens - it's WIDE angle(24mm) and has DEEP dept of field(f14)
Good work!

[@mariusbarthelmess7780]

can you use it on an apsc?(sony6400)

[@arhi3609]

Hi. As a basic light, do you use only 300 W or something more powerful? I tried with 300 w light and it was definitely not enough for me.

[@saheltaja]

Someone like the ILM miniature team would probably have really appreciated a lens like that in the 70's.

[@frostvisto9610]

Lovely in depth tips. I hope this lens will convince more people to take on Macro Cinematography. And not the flowers and bees type

[@Spybreak01]

at and of vid, what is the pc's configuration?

[@lewisoninc]

can you get any usable handheld video? maybe only at 120fps?

[@michaelkillebrew3114]

So you can use an apsc with this lens with no issue? Great review!

[@daveydadams]

Hey what slider/dolly are you using? Thanks!

[@nikka6522]

Hi! how does it work to shoot handheld?

[@TotallyGoodatGames]

$1,500 is making me wish this hobby was cheaper X.X

[@schildersbedrijfedens]

I was wondering wich camera do i need to buy that can recording longer than 30 min. non stop in 1920 x 1080? any suggestions?

[@saporob]

A camera made for videos? The GH4?

[@schildersbedrijfedens]

Camera made for vlog. With a flip screen and nog extra lens. Al in one camera

[@stephydae]

Sony Zv1?

[@MilesCooperUK]

I'd like to see this being used in a natural setting.

[@vegardpedersen]

I really want that lens, but I don't have the money to spend. I have to prioritate lights etc. THis was a really great review, you got some awesome shots with the lens! :-)

[@BIZARTMEDIA]

The lens is really interesting in terms of shooting, but I'm even more interested in whether it is worth buying such a lens for stock shooting? Do you think, friends, is there commercial success in selling videos shot with this lens on the Shutterstock website? Of course, subject to ideas and good image quality .... Thank you!

[@johnkantar9788]

any good for photography

[@FinalFilmProduction]

Sick intro ahaha

[@moeyismail2290]

Wow. Get a life

[@bhaskarpatel7233]

Nice

[@RiquinhoRapperXX]

Good

[@nicksolan]

The main question is, where did you get a syringe?

[@BadKarma714]

2:20 right up to the tip phrasing "Archer" I never get a heart :(
Good video

[@shutterstocktutorials]

PHRASING, LANA!!

[@IndianaMint]

I wish someone would do samples with a640p

[@itiseasy]

haha Bro you just started Shooting with that camera. Anyway I want this camera man. I really need it.

[@Hue_Nery]

@ 3:30 "it's not very pretty. It's kinda grimy." You know, people pay for grimy shots. In fact, there are plugins for that.

[@driedink]

Idea : put the macro lens 1/4th of the way into a cup and pour liquid so the lens gets submerged

[@michaelm.1947]

I was thinking the same thing as he mentioned the drink-pour shot.

[@nabts1470]

Is it compatible with nikon d3300?

[@aishduauauehf]

compatible with all nikons yes

[@michaelm.1947]

Compatible with F-mount Nikons (of which the D3300 is).

[@Clemente310x]

Can I use this lens with a canon mount , with a metabones to a Sony camera ?

[@mikuzi7035]

I have to sell my kidney first

[@alexmilesg3]

What was this designed for? Colonoscopies

[@youraveragemat]

cant imagine how dark it would be in that long lense.

[@himansharora3104]

Can I get a heart?

[@shutterstocktutorials]

YOU GET A HEART, EVERYONE GETS A HEART!

[@himansharora3104]

😭😭😭😭 you guys are awesome

[@himansharora3104]

Now can I get a free subscription? 😛

[@falakoala4579]

I would also enjoy having a heart. Thank you ☺️

[@grooyam]

clean your nails before using close-ups of something you're holding. seriously.

[@ZILLION4EVER]

ioew you are right.. so unprof...

[@benjaminbergeron306]

Lmao 😂

[@zuzkarory]

Anybody else at first read the title as 24 mm problems?

[@nashtravelandlifestyle]

I did...

[@UJWL715]

I read 24mm problems:)

[@divil2273]

Me too lol

[@un7ucky]

you didnt pour the drink until the lens was in the drink. i am disappointed. still a good review!

[@melvinch]

Would love to see someone using this lens pointing at a cop....

[@ClipsNSnips]

Love the video, but you gotta learn the difference between "whenever" and "when"... If an event is unique or its date or time is known, use "when". "Whenever" is best used for repeated events or events whose date or time is uncertain. For example: *Whenever* you used the word "whenever" in this video you should have said "when" *(repeated event, uncertain time)* ...Example two: *When* you said "Whenever I built my editing PC a few months ago..." you should have said "when" *(unique event with a known time)* ...Are you from the south? I notice a lot of folks from the south have this problem.

[@moeyismail2290]

You’re clearly single. Or your partner hates you.

[@ndrewJanney]

Hey i know u

[@-WhizzBang-]

Costs $2000.

[@SonnyPeas]

[@cloud9photography126]

[@coolcreamykiwi]

[@northrouter]

Shaky AF

[@chuchonmc]
