This was incredibly useful. Thank you so much. I was thinking of maybe buying this lens but it's important to me that it also be useful for regular use.
Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful, I really like this lens as I use it for time lapses of small plants, or the occasional other macro photography. It is possible to use as a portrait lens, but the focus is very difficult when focussing at a distance and the low contrast in back lit images mean I only every use it for macro and usually in a studio setup with a tripod. It does macro well, but not really much else.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed my video, whilst filming I use an Emiral stereo shotgun microphone, although I don't think they make the model anymore that I use. For voice over work whilst editing I use the inbuilt microphone on my Logitech G PRO X Gaming-Headset, its expensive, but it has realistic audio, unlike some gaming headsets which have too much Bass, the microphone is very clear, although a stand a lone microphone could possibly give better results.

This was very informative. I really loved the insects section thanks a lot, I am curious what microphone you use for your videos.

Nice overview. Did you have UK import fees?
