    the length of the extension tubes must not exceed the focal length of the lens, for you to be able to focus on something in front of the lens. When the extension tubes = focal length, then you will achieve 1:1. Try the 16mm lens with a shorter extension tube and it should work ;)

    The 90mm f/2.8 G Macro is by far the best "all around" lens Sony makes. It is amazingly sharp and of course - it excels at macro right out of the box. It

    Very cool. Would have loved to see these tests using the Tamron 70-180. I'll try it myself, I've got the lens and the tubes but not the close up filter.

    Definetly deserve more subs man, I really want to get into macro photography but I might try to get a filter for an 85mm or a dedicated macro lens. I also want a telephoto lens for nature photography too. Awesome stuff

    You should've gotten the 30mm 3.5 macro too. It can get closer, I wonder how well it would work with an extension tube on it.

  • @MarcellJjr

    85-400mm is sweet spot of tubes and magnifiers

  • @Michael-w8v

    In my experience, extension tubes only work better with less than 50mm of focal length if the lens is reserved and a fixed focal. Novoflex has a macro auto lens reversing with an electrical cable, but it is expensive.

    I use extensions on my 100-400 gmaster, and it is amazing. Lets me see close without getting too close. I was shooting wasps flitting about and not getting stung.

    Great information. Just bought the extention tubes and a close up filter. Close up filter is making the image softer though!

    I believe I found on the nisi sight that 100mm on a lens will get you 1:1 macro. Also you probably know this so I’m not trying to insult you but if you turn on focus peaking and use manual focus you can nail the focus better. Auto focus is unreliable when doing macro. Great video by the way. Loved seeing that beast of a lens with extension tubes on an aps-c lens. Even if it isn’t practical it was still pretty neat to see the results.

    Interesting video. Looks like NiSi is a 2 element lens to correct color, very important. Stopping down a bit with these can make a world of difference to sharpen up; also smaller, lighter, cheaper attachments with step-down ring may work at longer focal lengths stopped down as long there's no vignette.

    Don't know if you know or you have a video, but the Nisi Close Up Lens is a pretty nice piece of glas - especially for longer lenses. Totally replaced my makrolens.

    I have got great results with my /1.6 cropped sensor canon eos T7, 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II Nano USM lens + 65mm of extension tubes at 300mm I can shoot at about 40 cm of distance and at 70mm as close as 3-4 cm. Best result at 200mm around 10-12cm distance.

    Good and interesting video for some macro flexibilities. Btw the 90mm macro lens in not 1 to 1 magnification. It's close to 1.5-1 on apsc. Also yes it's good to show how they work with autofocus but for macro we prefer to use manual focus so it would be nice to see it they are actually capable of focusing.
