Take Extreme Macros on a Budget: Raynox DCR-250 & NiSi 58mm Combined

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ย. 2022
- Join me on this relaxing macro session at the local nature reserve where I like to both observe and document fascinating species. In this episode I used my Canon 80D with the EF 100mm f/2.8L IS & increased its default magnification all the way up to 3X by stacking the NiSi58mm close-up lens and the Raynox DCR-250 snap-on lens.

Thanks a lot for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe for more macro content!🕸🕷🐜🐞
Love the millipede photos.
Hey Zoltan! Koszi szepen!:)) Hope you’re having an awesome week!
Loved this vlog. The way you show us how you’re finding the subjects and then the absolute art and skill of getting the shot.
So well filmed and edited. It’s like we’re there, with the sound around you too. Plus being able to identify the species easily. And that’s before you get to the actual photographs!!
I just get amazed how you get this quality handheld!! So so interesting Peter.
An amazing film, seriously.
Loved the images and the content. A really brilliant watch.
Your skill and total commitment to this shines through!!
Thank you so much Dave, really appreciate your support! There is always room for improvement, but glad you enjoyed this vlog!😊 Have a wonderful day!👍
@@peterviragphoto you too mate 👍👍👍
Once again I am blown away by your skill and dedication when it comes to the hidden world around us Peter 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot Izzy, much appreciated! Hope you've been well!
@@peterviragphoto welcome matey 🙏
In the information below the video, you put 350. I tried to find one and could not.
Oh sorry will check it and correct. Thanks!
Great video, thanks Peter. I also loved the frogs in the background!
Thanks a lot David, much appreciated!😀🐸🐸
Another great video Peter, delving into the world of our tiny creatures. Well done👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Thanks a lot Alex!
Great images and video Peter. Definitely an awesome budget combo for macro. Thanks for sharing buddy 🙏
cheers mate, it definitely is imo:)
i'm using this raynox since 2006)))
Hehe that’s awesome! I love it too:)
Tisztelt Péter!
Lenyűgöző amit csinálsz és amilyen színvonalú képeket készítesz. Nagyon érdekesek a videóid.
Üdvözlettel: Dr. Dobány Zoltán
Kedves Zoltan! Nagyon szepen koszonom. Orulok, hogy tetszenek!😀 Tovabbi szep napot kivanok.😉
You’re really a great macro photographer 😁 I really enjoy this on location stuff and how you first spot your subjects despite them being so tiny, I would probably not notice their existence lmao. Super sharp photos and I liked the details of the portugese millipede, so cool.
Thanks heaps mate. It's all about slowing down and opening your eyes and being patient haha:) You would do great I'm sure, just gotta get used to it a little! cheers:)
in one word P E F E C T I O N
Thanks a lot!
Amazing macro here as always Peter. Never tried the raynox because I thought they may degrade images but obviously they don't that much. Thanks for sharing
I think it’s pretty good, especially in he centre of the frame ( tbh don’t care too much abiut corners, especially when shooting at this magnification. Have a good 1 James!
What if i use two rynox instead of rynox +nisi
Never tried but worth experimenting! Cheers
Was the male sac spider missing because he'd been eaten? Great shots, fantastic detail, and I'm still amazed how you get there handheld with such a razor thin depth of field.
Hey mate, thanks heaps. Not sure about that but you very well might be right😀 I still got a few sessions recorded with these close-up lenses but in future videos Iwill be focusing on the R7 with both adapted lenses and a new RF ultra macro, should be fun!😜
Peter, you said you dont want to get bit by this species.. are they deadly?..... Peter, your photos are amazing and I always blown away at the way you can hold the subject in one hand and take the shot with the other. I move too much to do that. If you use your R7, you have more info to work with AND focus peaking. That last little spider that climbed on your back pack - that one looks deadly!!! LOL. Amazing photos as always. 🙏🤗💖
Hey John. They are not deadly but their bite can be super painful. That last one isn’t too dangerous luckily:)) I have enabled focus peaking with the Laowa 25mm but it doesn’t seem to be working, maybe because of the lack of aperture coupling/zero electric contacts. Did it work for you? Maybe have to enable something in the menu? Will have a closer look again:) Thanks again! P.s. Have already had 3 sessions with the R7 , it’s awesome.
@@peterviragphoto Peter, I make jokes because Australia has so many deadly spiders!!! Focus peaking does work for me and I find the AF using the Canon 100mm adapted to it is simply AMAZING. It could be a setting in the camera. The Laowa 25mm I have is and RF mount, but the other lenses I have are adapted EF lenses. Check the focus peaking setting.🤗🤗
@@JonnyPink65 I have the focus set to manual on the body. I have MF peaking enabled and on “high” but can’t see anyhinf. Mine is an EF version. I didn’t even know they released an RF version of the 25mm, just checked haha.
@@peterviragphoto That is how I have mine set as well. I will check my settings tomorrow. The advantage of all EF lenses is they still work on all you other cameras as well!!
@@JonnyPink65 yep, that is why I won’t be selling any ef lenses as I’m still gonna keep both dslrs as backup and will be fun to compare too. P.s. Someone else was having the same issue albeit with sony for thr e mount with this lens so not alone LOL🙈
Would you say that 100mm L with dcr / nisi stack produces sharper images than Laowa lens at 2:1?
Hey there. I wouldn’t say sharper but in certain lighting conditions the microcontrast seems to be on par. The 100mm L lens is exceptional optically and you can push it quite far without introducing much diffraction/colour aberration and the image quality doesn’t seem to suffer much etc. By stacking diopter lens(es) on top of it. Cheers
@@peterviragphoto Thank you for such a prompt reply. I am struggling to decide wether it makes sense to get 100mm L while Laowa 90mm is able to do 2:1. I have a feeling Canon will have a more pleasing image quality.
Hey there. The Canon 100mm is an amazing lens and having AF helps for example with videos in certain scenarios but for stills I only use manual focus. The Laowa 90mm’s image quality is superb, it’s an amazingly sharp lens without any colour fringing, great contrast/colour reproduction due to the apochromatic design etc. I’ve got a few videos on that lens as wsll, so feel free to have a look. It’s also considerably cheaper and you might be able to buy another macro lens with a different focal length/magnification ratio etc. or you could buy the NiSi 49mm to boost it’s magnification even further. That is what I use right now:

Good luck!:)
@@peterviragphoto thank you very much for helping me make a decision. I will get the Laowa 90mm. I just purchased the Raynox dcr250 since Nisi is on back order.
No worries. If you buy it via this link it’ll also support my channel ( I receive a small commission ) : www.venuslens.net/product/laowa-90mm-f-2-8-2x-macro-apo/ref/894/
Have fun & I hope you’ll enjoy using it! Cheers
Raynox DCR-350 typo?
Hi Ray. Typo where? Did I accidentally type 350 in the video? Can’t remember.
