was thinking about picking these up so i dont have to bring a dedicated macro lens with me travelling, great video. helped me decide to pull the trigger! thanks!
3:52 - You didn't have to shoot any higher than ISO 100. Your subject was 100% static. All you had to do was take a long shutter speed and or add more light. I was wondering about this brand. They're very affordable. I was hoping they were not known to be junk or anything. Cool.
Question, I recently got some extension tube for my Hasselblad X2D, and after testing the result I got from the extension tube is the center is kind of nice and sharp but very fast degrading to kind of blur even doing focus stacking nothing work, The quality is terrible compared to a simple macro lens is that normal?
You mean softer towards the edges than you would expect? From the set I have, it did become more soft than normal but not to the point it was unusable. Actually tried the focus stacking recently and the results weren’t great however that’s most likely down to user error 🤷🏻♂️ Honestly, i can’t comment on your setup and i have no experience on Hassleblad. However i’ve never struggled to get good results with what I use. The quality isn’t ever going to be as good as a true macro lens unfortunately. We’re bending the rules with macro extension tubes so you’ll always degrade the image somewhat. Similar to the teleconverters, it’s a cheaper way to get the framing and look but something will always be sacrificed. Sorry that I can’t help you any further

is depth of field or vocal length increased after using extention tube?
like 50mm become 85mm?
The depth of field becomes narrower similar to true macro lenses so you’ll be required to stop down more

So it's safe to put your 85mm f1.2 without worring that it will damage something? Sorry but you wasn't very clear
You wont damage anything by using a macro tube.
