Thank you my friend :)

Thank you. I have quite a lot of macro video tutorials on my channel. What specific video are you looking for?

I wish someone would get tired of 90mm mico so that one day I could buy a second hand one.

For insects, I do a big no no which is 75-300 with an extension ring, people say it doesn't work but it does...I got a tone of pictures published (I am a biologist), so I take two bodies one with the aforementioned set up and another with the 60 mm...

Thank you so much!

:)

Thank you so much!

Congratulations on the 90mm and thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed the Live with Lisa Cuchara. It was so fun to do this with her. I really haven't use the Raynox much so I have a motto: If you don't use it give it or sell it. So I am giving it away. I know I will just use the 90mm moving forward instead of carrying an extra piece of gear even if it is small.

@@EmilieT Agreed...I have so much camera gear I should pay forward/donate...thanks for the nudge! Enjoy your new treasure.

Which lenses were you using with extension tubes? Some work much better than others.

You are going to have a lot of fun with the 60mm macro! It is a great lens!

Hi Deb. Yes practice practice practice. The more you will use it the better you will understand it. Don’t hesitate if you have specific questions on the 60mm

Thank you so much!

Ah merci beaucoup Pierre. Tu vas voir la macro est vraiment super fun!

Totally agree!

Congrats on the 150-400mmm. I sometimes use it for macro subjects. Love this lens

@@EmilieT I haven't been able to try it because the cold snap we have. :( but I am heading to Costa Rica in a few weeks so pretty excited

@@villamuez Perfect place to try it! Check Chris mcGinnis photos with the lens when he went to Costa Rica.

@@EmilieT Will do!! Thanks

It is. And you never stop learning. That is the fun of photography :)

Congrats on winning the giveaway. Check my latest video where I announced you as the winner and send me an address privately so I can send you the Raynox :)

Yes! Exciting time!

Thank you Charlie! Check out Hunt's photo and Video in Manchester NH. It is not far at all from Bow. That is my go to local camera store. There is another camera store in Concord but I have never been.

Aahh c'est un bon problème :)

Hi Cindy! Yes you definitely can. The only thing is that the zoom is recorded in jpeg mode. In the case of RAW images, a frame shows the zoom crop. And so in raw, you will still have to crop. I haven't actually used it but it is a possibility especially if you only shoot in jpeg.

@@EmilieT thank you Emilie for the info... shoot in RAW but it may be worth trying using the in camera converter to see how the image looks.

In term of composition and not cropping yes, the 90mm definitely has a big avantage because it allows you more flexibility with your composition. If you need to go closer you can and won't have to crop later. To me, that is a big game changer.

Many ways to do macro. The reversed lens is a great way to start.

Thank. It really depends on what kind of reach you will want. Do you have a local camera store near you to try them out?

It is. I love the flexibility of the 90 when compositing my shot but the 60 is a fantastic lens that is easy to carry everywhere.

@@EmilieT - saw your beautiful macro photos on instagram. I think I'd get the 60mm and 30mm soon.

Ohh sorry the giveaway is already done. Stay tuned for future giveaway :)

I should do some tests. So far I haven't seen a big difference or more need to focus stack.

From a calculation perspective the DOF using 90mm in 2:1 mode is even higher than in 1:1 🙄 I think I should take my time for taking photos rather than calculating 😂

Merci Denis. Oui désolée pour le concours. C'est un peu compliqué avec les frais et taxes en Europe malheureusement :(

@@EmilieT Pas grave, je continerais à e suivre quand même !😉

I don't use a diffuser with the 30mm because I use it for mushroom and waterdrops and I used an external light to illuminate my subjects.

Thank you for mentioning this lens. I have not tried the Laowa. Will try next time I have a chance.

I don't have one because I use it most of the time with my diffuser and flash.

I have one and I use it most of the time. I use a different type of flash than Emily, so the lens hood doesn't get in the way. I got an aftermarket one for a fraction of the price of the Olympus one and it works just fine. The main reason I use it is to avoid lens flare. I'd say it's useful, but not often necessary. That all depends on what you're using it for and whether you'll be indoors or outdoors though. If you often shoot outdoors and you have sunlight hitting your lens at an angle, that lens hood is going to be really useful. If you're working mostly indoors, it's probably not going to be an issue. Just keep in mind that when the lens hood is retracted, it blocks access to the manual focus ring. I use autofocus even for macro, so it's not a problem for me, but your experience may be different if you prefer to use manual focus.

Excellent. I used it when I started and it is very good.

Yes definitely. That is is my flash :)

It really depends on the specific lens but the 60mm macro is a great portrait lens.

That depends on the close focus distance of the portrait lens. The Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.7 can focus pretty close; much closer than the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 or 75mm f/1.8, for instance. If you want to be able to be able to take a close up of an individual rain drop on a rose, you'll definitely want a macro lens, but if you want a lens you can use for both photos of roses and people, I would recommend the Sigma 56mm f/1.4. It has an excellent close focus distance, and if you find it to be inadequate, you can always add some extension tubes. It also has a very shallow depth of field for portraits and the focal length is perfect for either portraits or macro. The 60mm macro can take some pretty good portraits in the right conditions, but you won't be able to blur out your backgrounds nearly as much as with the Sigma 56mm f/1.4, for instance. However, if you really want to be able to take photos of the tiny little insects that are crawling around on your roses that are barely visible to the naked eye, the 60mm macro is perfect! In other words, if you want a portrait lens that can also do macro, get the Sigma 56mm f/1.4, but if you want a macro lens that can also take portraits, get the Olympus 60mm macro. Some other lenses to consider that could sort of fill both rolls are: Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro Olympus 12-100mm f/4 IS Pro Sigma 60mm f/2.8 (much cheaper than Olympus 60mm macro) Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro + extension tubes or teleconverter Panasonic/Leica 45mm f/2.8 Macro Olympus 75mm f/1.8 + extension tubes Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.7 (This lens sometimes requires manual focus to focus on subjects near the minimum focus distance, but it can focus pretty close if you force it to. It just has a tendency to want to focus on the background. Using extension tubes may help to prevent this because the lens will no longer be able to focus on the background.) I have owned all of the lenses mentioned above except for the 45mm macro, so feel free to ask me if you have any questions about any of those lenses.

@@EmilieT thank you

@@keithholland4322 Thank you for making the time for such a detailed response. I appreciate your advice. Many thanks.

@@petermcginty3636 You're welcome! I'll be the first to admit that I'm a camera nerd! 😄

Same question from me: Is your existing AK diffusor which was configured for OM-1 + 60mm also compatible with the new 90mm or do you have to get a new one?

Great question. My current one works but I am getting a new AK diffuser to test it out as the lens is longer. So stay tuned!

@@EmilieT - will look forward to this review. Keenly interested.

Great video Emilie. I have the 30mm and the 60mm. I have also ordered the 90mm. I don't know if I am going to keep the 60mm or not. I will have to see how it compares to the 90mm at 1:1. I will keep the 30mm due to the field of view. Sometimes it's nice to have a little bit of the background in the photo.

It will work but AK is going to release a new diffuser for the 90mm so stay tuned.

Sorry :(

Voila le lien pour mon diffuseur: akdiffuser.com

@@EmilieT Merci pour le retour

@@EmilieT Compatible avec le 60mm et le nouveau 90mm ?

@@crowdie974 Oui mais pour le 90, je pense qu AK va sortir un nouveau model mais on peut quand meme utiliser le meme diffuseur. ca marche quand meme.
