Always nice to drop by and hang out with your calm intelligent personality. Boy, you keep those nails short...super close up also displays camera shake...unless you're out in that sun. There's a lot to talk about with closeup work.
Hi! Thank you for asking. Generally, the stronger macro filters come with more aberrations, and you are forced to use smaller apertures. I do not have personal experience with +10 macro filters, but I would be a bit hesitant. I recommend +4 filters because they provide a visible difference, and the photo quality is still generally very good. Kind regards!
How do these impact your minimum focus distance/infinity? Like could you leave this on your lens full time? Let's use 85mm as an example. They usually have a minimum focus distance of around 3ft, could you effectively reduce that and still maintain normal functionality of the lens?
Hi Nicholas! Thank you for your question. The macro filter will reduce the minimum focusing distance of your lens, but it will affect your ability to focus on distant objects even more (relatively speaking). Focusing to infinity will not be possible. Therefore, you cannot leave this filter on and continue using your lens in a normal way. Kind regards!
Hi Tom, do you think such a filter would work well with a Canon RF 24 105mm F4? The filter size is 77mm for this lens and the Maximum magnification for this lens is 0.24. Would you recommend me to go for the Hoya close up + 4 or a lower value (maybe + 2?) Do you think that this filter can be used with a step down ring to adapt it to a lens with a smaller filter size, or this would cause distortion or other unwanted effect?
Hi Alberto! Yes, I don't see a reason why a macro filter wouldn't work with your lens. With macro filters it matters that they are from a good maker. Hoyas are generally a very good option. I'd still recommend a +4 filter because a +2 has a small impact. Kind regards!
Short, compact & clear explanation!
Hi Trev Mac! Thanks so much. Cheers!

Hello! Thanks so much! Yes, there's much more to macro work and one day I'll certainly get back to other macro topics, too. Kind regards!
Thank you Tom.
Hi! Thank you so much for watching. Kind regards!
what magnification size would you reccomend for a 24-70 is x 10 too excessive ?

@@tom_photo thank you Tom. I am keen to explore this option. Very interesting video.
@@albertobelfast Alberto, best of luck to you with this! Cheers!
for 77mm get nisi closeup lens
