00:40 - Opening that lovely case full of lenses reminded me of James Bond being shown a new bit of kit by the gadget-expert 'Q'. "Pay attention, now, 007..." 😁 Wonderful macro images as always, Thomas. Thank you.
Thomas, what an amazing video with both macro photography and videography weighting this time. Incredible encounter with water bear, and as you said such a tiny universe is just beside us too tiny for us to see and explore. Looking forward to your macro videos. All the besyt,
Great way to take a break while packing for BugShot! Perfect depth of field on the tardigrade at 20x, and the soft gorgeous lighting. . . I am convinced, you are a wizard.
When you get the pattern of the wings from the butterflies, and other patterns from other creatures, it would be interesting to print that on wallpapers to have it covering the walls. Beautiful work as always! 💖
Thanks Thomas, the Tardigrades are so special, never thought that you'd see them but you made a silent movie with them. Best regards from Switzerland! Regards, Robert
As a kid I used to get pond water and look through my Dad's microscope, hoping to see one. Never did find one, but it was a fascinating world. Thanks for showing it !
amazing work as always. it's such a treat when you post a new video. i hope to see more at these insane magnifications despite it not being your normal workflow.
What a thoroughly interesting video! We have such beauty hidden within the macro world, it sometimes pains me to think that so many people don't get to see it. They would have much more of an appreciation for the intricacy of nature if they saw this, I'm sure! I feel very honoured and excited everytime I see this special world so close up. It's crazy to think that beings like water bears are crawling around with their tiniest of feet, while we just walk by oblivious. Amazing work their Thomas, as always. Much love ✌🏻
Thanks Thomas for this great video - I've been wondering about getting this lens set for springtail and mite photography in the field, so it's really helpful to see how you got on with the x10 and how thin the focal plane is! Would you say it's at all field-friendly, or really only suited to a mounted, controlled setup like you used for that absolutely stunning tardigrade footage? Thanks, Frank :)
What a great video! I've wondered about this lens set and clearly it appears to be something worth investigating. Of course I suppose I'd have to up my stacking game as well. Thanks!
I watched another review and these lenses looked like bunk. I watch yours, and they look amazing as everything else you show. Truly takes skilled hands.
I also got the Aurogon but the the life of me have not managed to get a decent stack even with a motorised stackshot rail! I think when I'm using flash I'm getting light reflected back into the objective making everything soft. I must try it again with some better diffusion, would love to capture a still image of a waterbear!
Inspiring video! Recently bought the set and will likely also start a hunt in fall/winter :) I have read about the nisi rail and was put off by reports of "extreme" wobble in their threaded rod. I may have to reconsider, as it seems manageable, at least around 20x
My MP-E has been serving me faithfully since 2008, still on my original Canon 40D. At times it shows its age, but the Topaz Denoising software has given in a little extra life. These are certainly promising though, so I might have to start saving my pennies.
The water bear footage was really beautiful 😍
Agree
Thomas..... Dude, you CRUSH the macro arena of both photography and videography. Fact.
Increíble trabajo!!! Admiración por todo el amor y respeto que tienes por la naturaleza y todo lo que haces en ella! Saludos desde Colombia! 👏👏👏
Amazing footage! Thank you Thomas for using our Aurogon lenses!🥳

Thanks so much for sharing. That water bear was so beautiful.
Thank you for the incredible footage and photos. Simply unbelievable.
I have no words. Such a beautiful video.
You are as inspiring as you were ten years ago, thank you Thomas!
This was such an unexpected joy for my day. What a profoundly beautiful video. Thank you so so much for making and sharing it
Only you could make such an alien world look and feel beautiful. Great video. We have come to expect nothing less.

How exciting to get a water bear in sight! For me, it would be more exciting than photographing a full sized mammalian bear . . . everyone does that.
Exceptional work Thomas. Thank you for sharing it with us. 👏👏👏
Another amazingly beautiful video of a world that is still completely unknown to us. Thanks for sharing this unique footage.
Nicely done! You have given me some ideas on how I can use my 10-50x kit.
the next gerenation macro lens!, amazing video thomas thanks for upload!
Experiencing nature in that way is one of the best experiences to have in photography.

Brilliant as usual! great job
Man you have great patience. Beautiful results.
Brillant, thanks a lot for uploading stuff like this.
Inspiring work! I admire your patience and perseverance!
Incredible shots of the tardigrades
At this point you basically built a microscope lol
super cool and useful Thomas, thank you! 👍
Thank you for this. I have shot some macro, but this is really advanced. Such a pleasure to see your work

😮😮
An excellent video, a great set up and a magnificent video of the Tardigrade. Subscribed staight away.

Did the slip rings come with the kit or was that a separate item?
God's amazing world
WOW
I really need to get into focus stacking...
