I have the Raynox 250 & the Sony 90mm f2.8 Macro (probably my favorite lens overall, & I own 10 Native Sony lenses + ~12 3rd party, hard to pick a #1 overall but the sharpness of the Sony 90, the “clutch shift” focus ring to switch from manual to autofocus, plus the additional on lens physical (CUSTOMIZABLE) Button (& 2 settings switches), & above all else the fact that the 90 is also a FANTASTIC portrait lens gives it just the slightest edge over the other Sony lenses I have or have had previously. (With the “old school” 35 f1.4 Distagon coming in a close 2nd) It was cool to see your experiments & results with the Raynox & the 90mm, I have also had fantastic results with the Sony 55 f1.8 + the Raynox, as well as a vintage Nikon 200mm adapted to Sony + the Raynox, as it provides a slightly more workable shooting distance (you have to get in CLOSE with the Raynox on most lenses, I haven’t had a chance to work w/ the Nisi, if it allows for a further shooting distance that may well be a big plus as well)

The raynox does have threads, it's 39mm if I recall correctly, so all you need is a step-down adaptor. I used it on a setup involving some kind of 87mm threaded optics.

True, but I don't own the right rings yet, but it would be interesting to see what magnifications can be reached on long lens, have you measured it?

@diatomsaus 4 жыл бұрын

@@anotherperspective3076 Unfortunately not, I never used the raynox for photography purposes. I only ever mounted it on a 70-200 via the step-down rings (custom adaptor I ordered) just to see if everything is right. AF actually works, quite reliable on a tripod. Another idea, why not just cut a piece of thicker cardboard, make it into a concentric circle. Shove the raynox in, and push the cardboard into the threaded filter front of the lens? The threads will hold the cardboard in place. I always keep and reuse packaging materials.

Hello, I already own the Raynox 250 and I’d like to buy the NIsi macro lens to combine with my Sony 100-400; I’d use the this latter combo for shooting insects, like dragonflies, where you can’t get too close to your subject, while I’d keep the Raynox to use, sometimes, with the macro Sony 90mm when the subjects are still, e.g. butterflies in early mornings at the end of September and October. Is it worth buying? Thanks, Fabrizio

@anotherperspective3076 3 жыл бұрын

If you want to keep a large focusing distance while shooting at high magnification, this setup is really good: you can see the focusing distance at 4:00. Going up to 400mm will offer a even higher magnification, but I am not sure if the camera shake will be too high going handheld. I hope this helps;)

Around 3:08 you say that the Raynox keeps a lot of details and got more magnification, you say it won. But at 3:20 you say to buy the NiSi? I am confused. In addition to this: 1) Have you tried the NiSi or Raynox on a rever lens? 2) Have you compared the sharpness of a reverse lens with say extension tubes and the NiSi or Raynox with a macro lens? Probably the macro with the filter will have better IQ but by how much? Would it be worth the extra money? (macro + filter). Thanks

The NISI close-up optical device is a lens, not a filter, can we call it a lens that screws into the front of the main camera lens in the internal thread which can be used to attach either a filter or a close up lens. I am fussy about technical terminology, it is important for newcomers, it is less confusing to use the correct terminology. You are not alone in making this error, some of the best macro imagers I see on KZfaq make the same mistake. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Greetings from Tasmania Australia.🇦🇺🦘
