Thank you for this beautiful video. I can’t wait to use my new filters and enjoy the little and magical details of life.

This video was so lovely, very relaxing! Was looking for an example of filming bugs close up and got a little zen moment to go with it, thank you.

Thank you for the video it was very helpful to see these filters in action and the fact that they are the cheaper version really helped me to put things in perspective so hats off to you sir.

This was an incredible video. Thank you for making it.

Awesome video

I just stumbled on this lovely video while looking into macro filming, but ive been watching your whip videos for years! Keep on keeping on mate.

Good Introduction of video. Really people need to stop by and notice and appreciate these small Little things and their world. It makes every cell in your body to calm down.

Nice video lol thank you!

Nick, you have reenergized me in my love of photography and nature….living in the desert makes me appreciate more….life…Cheers!

Dope!

Sweet! I learned how to find my thread size of my lens!!! 😊

Good Job ;)

Wouwww amazing

Nice overview with pros and cons!

Excellent videography as always man

Awesome video!!!

Great video!

great video... I was in a situation where I never knew anything about macro photography. I got into it because I wanted to focus on nature/wildlife and landscape photography. Once I learned about macro I was deeply intrigued but didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on macro lenses. So, found out about these lens filters and for a mere $13 , I have to say I am extremely impressed. I do find some of my shots are "foggy" but as you say in your video, I think I am just getting greedy and wanting to get too close. I find it harder with insects for some reason. My macro shots of plants/flowers turn out fine but insects are tough, not sure why. I honestly do love these filters. Another option is getting a reverse mounting ring ( I also have one) and locking your aperture, detaching lens and reverse mounting but I only do that indoors. I am worried about doing it outdoors as so much dust, dirt, pollen etc and get into the lens and cause issues..

Thank you for encouraging video. BEST geetings from Ukraine!

Great video! I've been having a hard time deciding if I wanted to invest in the 100mm macro but I think I might just try these out first.

Bravo

@Nick Schrader, great video ! But one thing that might make it harder to focus when stacking the close up lenses is that I noticed you mentioned you added them with increasing numbers. Rather than +2 , then + 4, I think it's supposed to be done with the largest number first. At least that's what I've read. Currently awaiting my close up filter in the mail to find out for myself, but have you tried this, or know if it's true?

You speak like Angel

Hi, I got the same lens. My close-up filter size is 58mm so I am using a ring (49 to 58). Do you think this would introduce more shallower depth of field 🤔?

I've noticed on some KZfaq videos of bees; the bees are moving about in an unhealthy fashion and I've even seen some on flowers fall to the ground dead. Something in our environment is killing these bees ( particularly the honey bees ) Albert Einstein once said: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live.”

The only issue is shellow depth of field so only focus in middle part even on f16

I tried using macro lens close up sets on my Canon Rebel T3I. Why does every lens look blurry when I look through it. I mean nothing is clear.

What is your focal length?to cap

Not sure what the main reason here is, but the close ups look very fuzzy. That can't be the detail loss of using the close up filters alone. Maybe the focus was not properly done or something?

Hey Nick, I tried the same but I am not able to focus even with +10
