    Great stuff Neil. Maybe when I haven't got a million and one other things on the go I might have a crack at that! 😆👍

    Great photos! I just found your channel recently and I really like your presentation style, both your commentary and the informative visuals. I also really appreciated getting a close look at your diffuser. Thanks.🌟

      Thank you, thats very kind of you to say. @chizz_photography who designed the diffuser, is planning more videos on its construction I believe too.

    Like another contrabuter in the comments have come across your channel only recently and one thing that stands out with your commentry is unlike some others you have some knowledge of what you are photographing / videoing. - Result one new subscriber. Look forward to more from yourself. 👍

      Wow, thank you!
      I started off as a naturalist/generally wildlife mad person, got a camera, and ended up where j am now. I'm glad you said this too, as when editing, I was thinking, do people want to hear this natural history stuff, or should I stick to purely photographic stuff, so I'll keep putting some snippets of wildlife info in the videos :)

    well that's it then, after 6 hours i made one myself. wast an interesting project :). don't get me wrong here, still will be happy to see a video how to make like yours. mine is the same but in fixed position, no clip buttons. (used something permanent)
    Thanks for the video, seeing the pieces assembled really helped.

    I envy your selection of insects in one spot. I am thinking of getting the 90mm myself, but not sure how much i would use it as the 60mm sems to do fine for me apart from manual focus using the lens ring. The clutch on the 90mm works really well when i tried it at an OM event.
    Have you tried the Olympus screw on close filter MC01 or something similar, the quatily is good and AF still works with it on the 60mm even at night with torch light to focus and flash.
    I also have the sort of recently released NiSi 49mm cloce up lens on order. I already have their 58 and 77 close up rings and they seem really good and work well with zooms when out on photo walks where closeups are not the main event.

    • @ukwildlife

      Ive only used the Raynox close up lens, and only really on my Macro lenses, it works great with 60mm - I've used both DCR 250 + 150 with extension tubes for ridiculous magnification on tiny springtails, but not with this diffuser yet - a future video there I think!
      One good thing about the 90mm macro is you can use the Olympus teleconverters - it is possible on 60mm with the right extension tubes used to make space for the protruding tele convertor, but so much easier on 90mm macro, though Ive not fully utilised that yet either!

    Always a treat when your new video pops up on my feed. Some wonderful photographs in this one for sure. Think you could leave the photos on the screen a bit longer? I need a little bit more time to savor them.😊

      Thank you. Thanks for the feedback too. I tried shorter view times as a bit of an experiment but perhaps I over did it?
