Old macro trick with two reversed standard lenses


Suggestion: close your aperture and use a lot of lights!

Would an extension tube achieve a similar effect? I know I've done similar with stills cameras...

 

[Salem Kapic]

Yes. My best results are with Pringles chips cilinder.

[Salem Kapic]

No, is not macro!
This is two reversed (stick together) 85mm and 50mm lenses

If you've got the nikon mount, I found that the 80-200mm Nikon f2.8 with a cannon 500D diopter is a great combo for a fairly light weight macro setup.

 

[Salem Kapic]

no. I have PL mount and ARRI/ZEISS standard primes
