  • A bit of lightweight mirrorless macro with the new and revised 7Artisans 60mm mkII macro. Learn more at: www.7artisans.com/en/
    The lens was sent to me for review, but the thoughts are my own - no sponsored links or paid promotion. A relatively inexpensive, simple, lightweight macro for mirrorless cameras.

    Thanks for sharing this excellent adventure into the wild with your very affordable options in equipment. The Pygmy rattlesnake was the best find on your walk! You can put a sheet of plexiglass between your camera and venomous snakes so you can defeat the heat signature and remain protected as you get right in there :) There really needs to be a backpack-style umbrella holder for image-makers :)

    Great video, great photos! I have a question regarding the DCR250, its diameter is given for 49mm, the same as the diameter of the front lens of the 7 artisan. Nevertheless, the video shows you screwing a step down ring to attach the DCR. What did I miss?

      Actually, I had the version one of this lens and switched to version 2 and regret it. Incredibly, the first iteration of it, with the protruding tube and everything, was sharper and easier to use since it has a longer working distance.

      @@huskythnoname4697 2x magnification creates a little bit of fish eye effect across the entire frame without cropping. Isn't a 1x better if not cropping?

    The Olympus lens is 213 gm with lens hood, no caps. It's AF, but MF is available. It's now on my OM-D E-M1x camera, the heaviest Olympus camera, but it has GPS and two batteries. It's splash proof, so extend the hood to keep the glass dry, shield the flash and keep on shooting.
    The camera supports focus bracketting, 50 megapixels hand held,high resolution (not concurrently), 80 on a dripod.
