Awesome video! Would have been nice if you went into detail about the closeup filter, so as to know how much more closer one can get with their lens. :)
Hello Stefan, Thanks for the great video! Can you share the brand and model of the white diffuser, the one you used for your handheld setup ? I know that the material of the cloth matters and the ones for 2$ on aliexpress are maybe not good enough.
Hi! Thank you for your video. it's very useful. Please - what is mounted on the top of your lens? And 2nd question. If I already have macro lens just like yours - do I need to get a close up filter? Thanks in advace
My camera has "Focus Bracketing". That is, each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes a series of photos, varying focus with each shot. The number of shots, the amount of focus changes with each shot, and the interval between shots can be selected. My question is: With this capability/function present on my camera, is there any additional advantage(s) to purchasing and using a Macro Rail as shown in your video?
You are using the diffusor the wrong way!!! If you place it a bit closer to the lenses end and then tilt it above the subject by using your fingers to drag the bottom part towards you, you´ll get a much more diffused ligth without blownout highlights and with absolute no ugly shadows. The diffusor shall always be close to the subject and a bit away from the flash so it (the flash) can lighten up the whole area of the diffusor. Try it both ways and you can compare and see a huge difference, especially on shiny glossy parts of the subject.
Which setup works best for your style?
Excellent job . Looking forward to your focus stacking video. Cheers 🍻 Richard
Excellent work, what kind of deffuser you used, because i didn't find it the link in the comment?

Thanks for sharing your fun! I LOVE macro photography :)
We are really appreciate your real world reviews
Good info bro.
The diffuser with flash looks interesting 🤔 can you expand on it a little more. How do you make it, or is it a commercial product? Thanks!
I found one on amazon that looks similar. I searched "Flash Lens Diffuser Reflector".
I have the same exact diffuser (and lens). it's from Amazon and it folds up pretty nicely. Appox $20-25
Very helpful thank you
How about next time taking pictures of eyes as ur thumbnail show?
I use Tokina 100m f2.8 macro lens .. costs 1/3rd the price and a really sharp lens.
Do you have a video of how to use a rail for macro focus? Also that diffuser on the lens did you make it? Thanks
I'll throw a link in for you. Its just a cheap on from Amazon.
GODOX MF12 is small and portable, and can make wonderful films anytime, anywhere

What is the recommended weight for hand held setup?
And what is the est weight of the setup u are using? Like weight of lens, camera, flash etc..
TTL or manual flash, with "Live View" in, Manual mode, with auto IS? (BTW, I've a Canon T3 and a 7D Mark II)
Great video Stefan, are you going with Sony 90mm macro for OSS or Laowa 90mm for 2:1 magnification
