@@losttofollowup420 Hi there. Did you mean extension tubes? I don’t have any, so I haven’t. The reason why I prefer close-up lenses is because they are a bit more versatile ( especially when using them in the field for both stills & videos )and produce higher magnification. Cheers
@@peterviragphoto I tried to send a reply with a link included to show the type of "Teleconverter" I was asking about, generally the type I'm talking about increase magnification by either 1.4x or by 2x. I know some people generally use them with their longer lenses when taking photos of birds as a 2x teleconverter will effectively double their lenses reach like say increasing a 300mm lens to 600mm by using the teleconverter with it
@@losttofollowup420 no worries Dave, thanks for your response. I’ve never thought about using teleconverters either so not sure how it would affect the image quality but would be fun to test it out for sure. There are so many options and combinations to potentially experiment with:)
Peter - holy moly these are AMAZING!!! Your stuff is mind blowing. The feet on the hover flies and flies in general,..... I love them. You also mention the diffuser getting in the way. I will deal with a few highlights if I can get in closer. But man, your shots are amazing!!!! I am also impressed with the way you let them, or get them to climb on you, ......and you can still get a picture. Beautiful stuff! 🤗💖🙏
Hey John, thank you very much! If I’m not freaked out by them then I’ll let them creep & crawl haha😃. Yes, the diffuser can get in the way at times but when I can shield the subject from direct sunlight, that might suffice too:)
Great video Peter! That first image of the jumping spider was amazing and really cool to see how small they really are with him in your palm. The Typical Orb weaver in the web was a stunner as well! Pretty cool to have the gum tree hopper crawl into your finger, which was a wonderful image! Great stuff as always mate!
The eye contact is fantastic! The macro world is breathtaking! The image quality is so good it makes me feel like the spider is looking directly into my eyes, incredible! Also, the image of the Garden Jumping Spider is stunning! What a beautiful and colorful spider. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Peter, your equipment must be so good to get such amazing footage. The spider on your hand was amazing and so was the one on your fingernail and the leaf. I do love the cute jumping spiders :) ~ Anna 👍
Amazing work Peter! Awesome video mate. Was a good idea to do the test with the two combined. Those Jumping Spider have a personality all of their own don’t they. So cute! Thanks for sharing buddy 🤙🙏
I'm not sure that I see too many photographers capturing insects in the manner you do mate. Somehow you seem to deliver personality - those last couple of the garden spider on your palm were just magnificent - it's almost talking to you through the image. Then the Leaf Curling Spider - so much menace in the shots
Hi Max, thanks for dropping by. I used a few adapter rings ( step up/down rings ) to match the filter sizes. They only cost a few dollars on Amazon, I used some from Neewer. Cheers
Great images. Thanks for sharing. I use the EF100 non IS and currently have the Raynox DCR 250 which my understanding is 2.5x on this lens. How does the Nisi compare IQ wise? The Nisi is 2x on this lens. but since you have both how does IQ compare? (even though they are different magnifications). If you are double stacking the NiSi I assume you get 3x (you said 30 percent would that be 2.6x magnification? How does that compare to the DCR-250 in IQ which is 2.5x magnification? especially in the corners. What about combining one Nisi with the DCR-250? Magnification and IQ
Have you ever tried stacking close-up lenses? I love the NiSi 58mm & the Raynox DCR-250 combo too😉🦋🪲🐛
Have you compared the image quality between the setup you used in this video and say using a teleconverter with the canon 100mm macro lens?

Man some mighty images there Peter, I think you can call that a success 😀
Thanks Chris, got lucky with a few:) Have a great weekend!

Interesting information and as always great images Peter. 👍👏👍🇦🇺🕷

Amazing macro photography here Peter. Thanks for sharing

Loved the sequence at 1:30, just seeing you in your element 😁 incredible images captured too! The shot at 3:30 was mesmerising with the eye contact 😍
Thanks heaps buddy! Hope you had an awesome weekend!

Your images are getting better with each video 👏 Thank you!
Thanks Tim O! Have a good 1!:)
@@peterviragphoto Peter, I was wondering are you doing any macro workshop in Melbourne by any chance?
Hi there. At the moment not running any workshops but might in the future. Do you need help with something in particular?
Great images again Peter, amazing quality considering you were using the close up lenses rather than a dedicated macro lens.
Thanks mate. Well, they were on one of the best macro lenses for the EF mount😁. These perform noticably worse on a standard zoom for example:)
@@peterviragphoto that might make for an interesting comparison video.
I already have tested it in a review😉👍
Good idea to combine these Peter.
The images are amazing!! Do you think it worked cos it certainly looked like it!
Thanks a lot mate. I was quite happy with the results! Have a good one:)
@@peterviragphoto you too mate 👍👍👍
Thanks for this content can you please explain how have you mounted thos 2 together? thanks again, Max.
Hi Max, thanks for dropping by. I used a few adapter rings ( step up/down rings ) to match the filter sizes. They only cost a few dollars on Amazon, I used some from Neewer. Cheers
Hi Peter, Great video thanks. Have you any idea of the final magnification when combining the RF100mm F2.8 with the NISI 77mm. Thanks.
@@crumpeteer6477 hi, don’t know exactly but with the RF 100 I’d go for the more compact 49mm if I could. Cheers
@@peterviragphoto Thanks peter but do you mean the 58mm?
Sorry Peter. I was unaware there was a 49mm but since you suggesting this, I've now ordered one. Thank you & keep your lovely videos coming.
Hi. Is a app to identificate spider? Is some good ones for birds. Great video. Thank you.
Hey there mate. In this video I explain what I use: ua-cam.com/video/Aq-q0LDBpyQ/v-deo.html

Thanks mate. I have different videos ( some are already up ), where I combined the 58mm with the DCR-250. More coming:)
I must of missed your comparison, doh. I am going to check them out now. Thanks for letting me know.
Szep felvetelek, ugyes, nekem egy 80mm es sigma van a canonra es 30mm es az olympuszra😊
