  • His results look like shite- the biggest problem being that he needed to mount that lens perfectly perpendicular to his sensor plane in order to achieve decent focus, but with his kludgy tape/shim/lens attachment job... well... the results speak for themselves.

  • @Mrlarmalama U MAD?

  • ONE. for the price of that manchinaery they have, you can buy bellows that do a much better job than this shit for half the price. TWO. yes you've guessed it, that man is a paedophile. THREE. i'm only 17 and i can afford a better than he's got. lets not watch any more of these videos children, it cost 20 bucks for good bellows for awesome macro photography, it costs your diginity and respect wasting precious life time on this useless shitty tutorial. PEACE

  • @TylerHasAChannel :  Its spelled "vise" OR "vice", both are right.

    Also, @rezanaghibi : You're a douche.

  • I thought,, 'WTF'

  • Magnification seems great... quality is not. But interesting stuff.

  • Reverse ring - £2, extension tubes - £4 = win :)

  • @nickbownz seeing the bad result of this "lens" I dont think you are right. If you take a closer look of these photos they are blurry, not sharp at all. So maybe the rings dont take you this close but you zoom a bit and you got the better quality photo.

  • that is really on a budget... but nice try though the photos arent that good in quality

  • @planetrics those macro rings won't get you even close to the magnification a setup like this will.
