Canon dSLR Macro Photography On The Cheap - M42 Lenses & Extension Tubes!

http://www.robnunnphoto.com/
dSLR's are great, but lenses are expensive, even second-hand ones. If you buy a M42 lens mount adapter on eBay, you've then got access to the thousands of much cheaper (and older) M42 Lenses.

M42 Glass is manual focus, and you have tomove the aperture ring by hand too, but if you put your Canon dSLR into Aperture Priority Mode, it will meter the scene and set your shutter-speed accordingly.

By adding extension tubes we can take macro or close up photographs, and the equivalent EF lenses are incredibly expensive, but we can get similair shots at a fraction of the price.

So buy an M42 lens mount adapter, then trawl the flea-markets, charity shops and car-boot sales for M42 glass and extension tubes.

Thanks for watching, Rob.

Anyone got any advice on a fujifilm s2750, bridge cam, i have just moved up from a compact and got this at a good price, over all im happy with macro and super macro, which is no probs for that camera, i wanted to photograph things like birds and animals, and wonderd if there was adapters and things to give a bit more zoom, i can already get nice pics from a substantial distance but wonderd if there was a thing that can make zoom better :)

does this process work on the canon 500d ?

How do you get enough light for the macro?

I think lighting will be an issue because you're so close to the object..

Dude this is a great vid! Im now gonna get me some M42's at Newbury Racecourse car boot! Seen so many of them and didnt think much of em...

Anyway I kind of came to a dead end and tried/failed to do macro before. So thanks for the tips on this vid as I now know the mechanics (god im such a n00b). Thanks for the clean explanation on this. Someone who actually knows what they are talking about!!!!!!!! :D

Hunting M42 lenses can be allot of fun. Sure it takes manual fiddling.. but those old lenses are still very good :)
