what brand of extention tube u are using?
Amazing man! u saved me few more money on buying an electronic extention tube! also saw ur works on flicker. Simply awesome! u shot those macro shots with this same setup??? great works! keep clicking 😉
Молодец!
YO!! people are asking you questions on here, can you take a moment to answer them?
Thank you for sharing this!
whats the make and size of the extension tube you used?
Thank you for sharing!!
hi, which lens is better to use with macro extension tube the 50mm.or the 18-55mm.Thanks..
Bro with no exaggeration, you deserve to receive Tony award by creating this tutorial…
very helpful.Thanks for the tips!!
Dear friend, microscope objective + pringle tube+ some black paint+ pvc and glue will give you a higher magnification and cost less than a canon 50mm f 1.8 😀
Tripod?
Thank you very much! I have a 50 mm lens. Can you give me a link to eBay store to buy the items?
great vid, very informative
Excellent explanation. Thanks.
checked your work, absolutely beautiful
Very ingenious. practically demonstrated. Thanks Much !
Can i use my canon 18-55mm lens for this?
lol "cheap"
Can anyone explain to me why/how this works? Why does flipping the lens around give crazy low DOF? What is the purpose of the extension tubes?
I have 35mm 1.8 lens, will it give more magnification than 50mm ?
WRONG DUDE!!! AF motor OFF before you screw them in to reverse adapter!!!!! #facepalm
Was the  last shot of the bug on a "high Key" Background?
HiÂ
When i put my 50mm on to my standard lens it works as a macro however it is cropped into a circle, why is this?
which extension tube should I purchase for 50mm f 1.8 ??
great video!!
Found solution ! haha My cheap Sony Alpha reverse ring aperture solution
Genius! , I have problem with my lens I'm using sony alpha, I try your metho to set the Aperture =8, when I take the lens off it go back.. can you help me please?
Very informative, thank you.
Great video. Maybe I won't getting a macro lens anyway. At least not yet 🙂
thanks
thanks
To help anyone work out their magnification, here is a simple formulae.
Magnification is: M = S/F Where: M = magnification; S = sensor width; F = horizontal field of view
On your Canon 550D, the sensor is 22.3mm wide x 14.9mm high. So in the case where a 2.5mm object fills your sensor, it would work out as:
M = 22.3mm / 2.5mm
M = 8.92. Round this off and you have 9x magnification.
Where a 5mm object fills up ¾ of your sensor, it would work out as:
M = (22.3mm x ¾) / 5mm
M = 3.345 or 3x
Have fun!
Good video. I have the 50mm f/1.4. I use this and the 18-135mm. You can still focus using the focus ring but manually.
To move backwards and forwards allows you to get a different focal length. Just like when you use a zoom lens.
Great shots
So the only way to focus is to manually move closer or farther to the subject right? Nice Video, I just realized how heavy my DSLR is.
Great results!
Cheers
No worries glad I could help 🙂
use it but just don't reverse it
thanks no problem
If I leave it set at 1.8 just about nothing will be in focus because there will be a shallow depth of field. put it at f8 will give me more in focus thanks for the comment
why do you use f/8 apperture? isn't 1.8 better for macro? great work btw….
get a step-up adapter.
well it is, my Nikon 105 macro is $800, and the cheapest lens I own now is $1500.
