Shorten the focal length, you can increase magnification more

I just started experimenting with using my Tamron Macro Lens with a Tamron 2X Teleconverter, and so far have been getting some very impressive results. What's nice about using a Macro Lens with a 2X teleconverter is you get increased magnification WITHOUT having to get closer to a subject. I'm going to try and use that combo photographing insects one of these days, and will keep you folks posted. I see that as potentially a great way to photograph insects because if you can photograph insects WITHOUT having to get ultra close to them, you have a better chance of getting your photograph, because if you can keep a good distance away from the insect you have less of a risk of scaring the creature off.

Well I never!! I use this very technique in my macro photography. I'm unsure about about the magnification ratio, but with just the adaptors (no extension tubes) my 28-80mm lens is extended by approximately 1 cm, and gives me 1:1 magnification. Using two set of tubes is completely mad! I've not managed to capture an insect yet, but using a tabletop studio, I acheived some very impressive results! I also use a reverse mount ring and a macro diopter, which screws to the front of the lens. I've done the 'tissue' shot, and I can see every single fibre! I have a virtual microscope! I can't wait for set #3 to arrive! Jeeezzz!!

Add more extension tubes and you will see atoms....

Great video. I just got a 100mm L, and usually use it with a 2x Kenko teleconverter for 2:1 magnification. I still have Kenko extension tubes from before I had a dedicated macro lens, and I think I may have to try it all together tonight.

Thanks for the effort to put this video and explaining in the most simplisctic manner how to use macro lens with extension tubes. You are very good. Thanks again

Reversing the lens would do too (even better in some aspects if you ask me). Kenko's tubes do have contacts. I don't use ET much right now since i got the Vello Macrofier. With ETs, sometimes getting things in focus is pretty hard (and theoretically, the focusing point is sometimes behind the lens' front).

With tube, lens will be closer to subject so definitely it will give u for magnified photo.

Nice you explained quite clearly, thank you. Most of the videos I saw don't take into consideration scaling and magnification.

very well done = calm and sensible delivery

My friend and I did this with a Pringles tube, a body cap and a regular telephoto lens. We took photos of a few things, but the best was a ball point pen, which blew up to about the size of a large beach ball.

I did the same with an old M42 lens and two macro extension tubes. I used it for insect photography. Cool effect!

Fantastic vid - thanks for the aperture trick.

Very interesting set up, many thanks.

When I use extension tube, I would also attach a reverse wide angle lens for up to 5:1 to 9:1 magnification. Lens with focal length longer than 80mm might not be suitable for adding extension tube due to difficult in hand held shooting.

very well presented! .. I've used extension tubes with metering and focus, but never like the manual tubes you have. well done!

Cool! Gonna use this technique next time in a portrait shoot

Great video, nice to see someone who knows and loves what they do.

i have the 65mm 5x macro which is a lot of fun. I frequently use it with extension tubes to get even closer.

Is that the best micro lens for Nikon...by best I mean highest magnification for rhe money. I'm sure I one can pay 20k for an insane one but for us non rich guys. My limit is 3k lol.

this was super cool, I was wondering if stacking several tubes would work and KZread read my thoughts and recommend this a few hours later!

with the kit lens 18-55mm and a reversing ring you can get around 5:1 at 18mm. using a ultra wide lense like 10 or 11mm you will get around 7-8:1. you can go even further with using ultra wide lense + reversing ring + extension tubes. 10:1 should be no problem. maybe you can give it a try and make a video.

Thanks ZY. Very interesting.

Give a lot of input and motivation about the photography of Trimakasikasi

Using the microscope mode of my little Olympus TG4 I can fill the frame with about 2½ mm. It will even do in-camera focus stacking.

Good video! Learned a few things, thank You! Can't wait to get my first macro lens! :)

Magnification is the ratio of focal distances therefore if you use a shorter focal length lens you will get more magnification out of the extension. That macro lens looks like a 100mm but if you put a standard or wide angle on it the magnification will be more.

Thanks for sharing.There were a couple of handy hacks i was not aware of...Cheers from Australia mate.

Thank u very much for information. Unfortunately, when I sat down to find Depth of Field button, it went missing. Maybe I'll purchase a macro lens anyway.

Great tutorial. Love it. By the way, what would you recommend for a Nikon D5500 lens use for both Portraiture and close up (macro) shoot (photography and videography)? is there a lens that suit both scenario for my camera? also for macro extension tube, what would you recommend for my Nikon D5500? Thanks in advance.

I don't even own a camera and I don't know anything about cameras but I find this very interesting

Thank you for the video! What trigger are you using for your Yongnuo flash may I ask?

Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm new to the photography game but as far as I'm aware extension tubes don't give you any X magnification, only draw the lens away from the camera to allow you to shorten the minimum focusing distance although it gives a similar effect.

use the f22 to get more dof. u need a bright flashlight to compose, and move ur camera forward and backward to focus. extension tube will make u loss some light, flash needed.

Could you list your equipment? I'm trying to figure out how to get better microscopic images and my actual microscope's depth of field is just too small. Maybe this can help me reach the in between focus I need, between true microscopes and macro.

Bro, this is awesome!

my question is: is it best to have the focus ring at or near the infinity end? or does image quality not matter, and you can focus anywhere available, as long as you are in focus.

You should look at an Olympus TG4 with the microscope setting and the light ring. It can see the fibers as well and everything fits in your pocket. Not quite as "professional" of a setup, but it gets magnification in a very small form factor.

Very cool. Thank you.

The Canon MP-E 65mm goes up to 5x on a full frame body. Can be used with a 2x teleconverter to make it a 10x. Then if you use the lens and teleconverter on a cropped sensor body it has a magnification of 16x. Very dark viewfinder and almost no depth of field even stopped right down. Canon refer to the lens as a micro lens as opposed to a macro lens.

another grate video i do love extention tubes i like the canon tubes because of the closing down issue makes it so hard to focus in the dark i dontknow how he manages to get anything in focus he is good but to get the best results when taking macro photos i try to keep my camera body level and strait pointing at the bank note to get max depth of field he should have lowered his tripod so that the lens was not pointing down and capturing the bank note at an angle.

Useful for me thank you.

I have the same IKEA lamp :)

Great vid but does anybody knows how can I maintain the aperture in my Nikon 18-55 mm Kit lens when I detach it for reverse macro shooting?

You should of done the tip of a ball point pen

Thanks for taking the time to do these vids,i know this vid is a old. very cool. What kind of lens is that your using?

That was crazy!!!

When you use manual extension tubes, Fstop will show infitinty!! So automatic extension is recommended.

Amazing video, keep it going

nice one tuturial..

little weird macro on macro on macro vid...haha...you did good...thanks ;)

Is the 22.5 denominator always used to determine the amount of magnification? I had a customer asking me what the magnification was and I couldn't give an accurate response. Great trick getting the aperture to stay put, this is one benefit of using a manual lens for macro photography that most don't consider. thanks great video!

@zy_cheng

Bob Jimenez The magnification is calculated using the ratio of the size of the actual item to the sizer of the image formed on the sensor. In this case, I shot a ruler and observed the length of the ruler needed to completely fill the frame, then calculated the ratio of that to the actual sensor length.

Running Worm Productions I haven't tried those yet, but coming to look at it, they are so much more expensive compared to these "dumb" extension tubes. For aperture control, there's that DoF preview button trick (although you need to detach the lens every time you wanna change the aperture) and for macro photography, you wouldn't want AF either, its extremely fiddly. Using AF for extreme macro is a horrible nightmare.

Well guess I’m currently shooting double extension tubes and reverse ring ! I’ll be checking photos on post soon !

Thats awesome!

Good work do an extension factor calculation also

Really cool!
