Secret's out! My Swiss army knife lens is a 100mm MACRO! Anyone else guilty?
Me
A Macro lens will be my next purchase. I do have a "nifty fifty" but I want to get a more dedicated macro.Currently looking at the EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro. *Drools*
Peter McKinnon man stop posting super interesting video at dinner time 😉 i
We're looking to add a macro to our Panasonic G7 (4/3 size). Any Suggestions Pete?
My rokinon 100mm macro should arrive today. Excited!
normal people: "oh it's raining"
Peter: "B-ROLL!"
I love my macro lens, and I agree. I use it for much, much more than macro shots (although it’s obviously perfect for that too!)
Does anyone shoot with Sony? Would like to know How does the Sony 50mm F2.8 Macro Lens compare to Sigma 70mm Macro? Also how good is autofocus on Sony 50mm while shooting macro video?
You make Tuesday my new favorite day of the week with these videos.
This video is perfection. Straight to the point. I love my macro lens
Early squad. Hey, Peter, can you make a video about camera bags? Would be awesome to have a good recommendation for a camera bag for light run and gun street vlogging setup. Thanks and once again, congratulations on 1M
Lowepro Protactic series is amazing! I have the smaller 350AW and it's so rugged but still light, best investment ever.
350AW is amazing
have it too. the best BP I have ever used.
Hey there Hagazo, I bought the LowePro 450AW (the largest in their series) for its extra space. I thought it would be too big but as a 5'10 individual it was a perfect fit (maybe even a bit smaller than I thought). Highly recommend it
Hagazo I use the same one as Peter, the protactic 450aw, seriously well made and really light weight. Climbed a mountain during a rain storm with it and ally gear was bone dry the entire time. It even comes with a built in weather sheild that you can pull out.
Hey
What kinds lens is best for shooting tech videos where i just sit and talk and show new gadgets ?
Love the fact that I find myself asking questions and the next day or two later you post a video on exactly what I was thinking of. MAGIC? Thank you Peter! So helpful.
Amazing work! I am so happy that you finally reached the million subscribers.
You inspired me a lot since I have started watching your videos. Thank you!
I love how these 2 minute Tuesday’s are not even 2 minutes
Bruh
This was as close as you’re probably ever gonna get
I've had the non L Ef version for almost 2 yrs now! I am in love with it. HUGE interest in Macro! It's so cool to know that I have a piece of gear just like yours!! I have horribly shaky hands so I can't get too much with it handheld sadly. Saving up for the updated model! Thanks for showing that it can be used for video. Just branching into video so I am glad to know I can use my current gear!!
I even use them in my tech videos. So the are very usefull in many situations. Just love the short depth of field you get with them 😀
Nice. I've never looked into these. Pretty dope!
What i love about two minute tuesday is that when i'm rushing on something. I can still watch this since it's just two minutes! 😁👍
Someone tell him
Peter, I've got to say that you are one hell of an inspiration! Cheers to you from Texas! I've always had an eye for taking photos and I've developed so much over the years just observing and reading about it online. What really brought it out in me was being a skateboarder for the past 15 years now, always seeing those huge lenses and sweet shots in skate magazines really opened my eyes to the world of photography. Not too long ago I purchased a D3500, few weeks later I upgraded the kit lens for a Sigma 17-50 F2.8 and now I'm shooting on a used D600. It's odd, but when I find a passion in something, i just jump in head first. Mind you, this is my first comment on one of your videos but I've been watching your videos and learning for the passed year now. Thank you for the insight and knowledge you pass down to so many others like me. Good vibes sent to you and your family! Have a blessed one!
I love these 2 minute videos 🔥 Great tip about macro lenses & crushing the misconception!! 🤘🏻 Congratulations on hitting 1 million! You deserve it.
Awesome! A macro lens is still on my list of lenses to buy. Need to bump up the priority!
Congrats on the 1 million! been here a while and always enjoy it!
I honestly fell into the same trap of thinking macro lenses were only good for macro shots. Thanks Pete! Always learning something new!
The rain B-roll was calm vibes😌😌
Hey Peter, could you list out your lenses in the order of most usage. When you don't know what to expect from a shoot , what are your 4 go to lenses ? Congrats on 1 mil :D
Avinash Murthy Well my recommendation is a 24-70 and a 70-200 that’s pretty much all you need and if you need a macro then bring a macro lens or a extension tube that’s pretty much all you need, unless you mysteriously don’t know your going to do wildlife photography you don’t need anymore and you can also get a telephoto converter if your that worried about needing everything
big congrats on your milestone, well done and deserved, all the best
Love that you brought this up, I'm actually waiting for a 100m macro ef to come in tomorrow (Wednesday)! I toyed around with a macro tube set, but I knew I enjoyed macro photography a bunch so I decided to invest. That's awsome though to see that I can do so much more, including wicked nice portraits, with the lens! Great vid!
Who sticked through the rain B-roll? 😁
Joespn 🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️
We did, can't get enough of this guy!
Guilty Lol
Joespn who didn't?
Joespn God dammit he can make rain look gorgeous when I'm sitting here with a gorgeous sunrise and i still can make it look gorgeous. Jk love you Pete!
I don't understand why people dislikes this type of cool videos 😑
Rohan Dutta True
youtube bots go round disliking popular videos
Oh wow. What a strange concept.
it´s just a bunch of envy youtubers
I think because they are jealous
I love the 2 min vids. A wealth of info, well produced, well delivered, to the point (so rare), entertaining and knowledgeable. AWESOME. THANK U.
Dude I just have to say, one of the biggest things you've inspired me on the last few months that I watch your videos is: awesome b-roll and unique photos are EVERYWHERE! I used to keep my camera with me all the time to shoot cool stuff I saw, never thought "just flip that over to video mode..."
You are so right. I take my Tokina 100mm f/2.8 AT-X Lens everywhere with me now, absolutely wonderful for Portraits. Even better than my 85mm 1.8~
isnt 100mm a bit too much zoom xd? are there any around like under 50 mm that are as good? :)
Your phone? :-p no but you can use 35mm - it takes a lot more skill , but people use it to portrait :)
You have many great videos that i am finding from many days with my friends..:)
I've had a macro lens in my bag for a long time but almost never pulled it out until I watched this. I'll definitely be exploring it a bit more now. Thanks for another great video!
I'm actually very surprised I stumbled across this! Was looking for tips on shooting and whst macro lenses were all about then came across you peter! congrats on the 1 mil!
Pretty please do a video on how you use Epidemic Sound to choose music. I love your music and Epidemic is epic, but what methods do you use to search their extensive database. Thanks in advance and thanks for an incredible channel. You've inspired me loads
Hey Peter! I would watch gladly watch a video about your premiere export settings if you made one ;)
Awsome work like always! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I have just ordered the Canon 24-105 mm F/4 macro and the guy told me this same information, but this is the first video I have found on this!
Man i Wish 2 minutes tuesday was everyday.
i also just wanted to add for people that didnt know you could even get a macro lens for roughly $150 - $250 and they are really good. only problem is that they dont have zoom or stablization but they are still great for macro, portrait and even landscape.
WoooW thank you from Spain!! this (and many more) its a great video!!! thank you peter.. i really admire u!
I just invested in the new ef-s macro lens, and I'm loving it!! It's like a whole new world!
Gorgeous lens, what's the Nikon version of that type of lens?
Nikon has a 105mm f2.8 Macro and a 60mm f2.8 version as well.
Photomeike thanks man, appreciate it. 😊
No problem. Also if you are ok with third party lenses. Tamron makes a 90mm f2.8 Macro that is a great alternative and less expensive!
Photomeike thanks will look into that one too. 😊
would recommend the nikkor 60mm 2.8 D, one of the sharpest lens nikon ever made.
BOOOOOOM You literally made a video about the question I asked in the pizza video lol Thanks pete!
Thank you! This was just what I was looking for
Glad you're giving the 100mm macro some love. I've had the non-L version for several years now, and I LOVE IT. I use it on every portrait session I do.
Peter i am just 16. and i know it is going to be amazingly rare that you would read my comment. but anyways it is not a long time i have been to your channel, one day i went on searching on youtube about transitions in premiere pro. i saw many videos and was getting and idea how we can use premiere pro i am just a beginner. but finally your video came up of transitions in which you taught people about masking the video. i really got it now its easy for me. after that i saw your many video and realized you put 2 minute video every Tuesday and that is the video i just love it. well i don't have a camera and i don't know if i will get one or not. but one thing i know is that never give up and do something which you love. Even you quit for one year but came up blasting. and that's where you found yourself. you were very inspiring in the video. and that cap will be with you for the rest of your life and i know it. because you are not over yet their is a lot yet to come. people will love you for that. congratulations for your 1 million subscribers. if you read this fully i love you and good luck for future and THANK YOU.
please reply if you can.
Exactly the information I needed - confirmed by a reputable CZcamsr :) I have used macro lenses but I don't buy them. They are out of my $$ range and most importantly don't give me the extreme magnification that I like working with. So I prefer using extension tubes, reverse rings & microscope objectives... Recently I had an argument - well more like a discussion, with another photographer who claimed that everything shot with a macro lens is - macro photography... I tried to explain to him more about the true macro ratio 1:1 and how a macro lens ( unlike ext. tubes, reverse rings and microscope objectives ) doesn't get out of focus just because you are slightly further away. So with macro lenses you can shoot macro but you can also shoot close-ups and regular photos, that don't have the required magnification ratio to be considered true macro. Really good video, thank you for sharing :)
Just stumbled across your channel and I must say, great work! Thanks for quality videos that are right to the point. Too many videos are unnecessarily long and drawn out. Love your work!
I have been watching your videos for the past month or so. Enjoy every time that I get to watch one of your videos it has become a daily ritual for me. I just wanted to let you that you have inspired me to be me and to reach for my dreams so thanks.
Sold! I'm going to get one NOW! Haha
wish i had the budget to just go out and buy a new lens hahahaha
6 months later and I bet you still didn't get it..
just bought using your affiliate link :) - thanks for the recommendation
The guy could have said thank you...... What a jerk.
@@king0cans The guy gets hundreds of comment everyday,i think he just didn't see this comment
@@Henry_44 Riiiiight
You're always full av new creativity in every video. Great man! Love your channel!
Your energy and photography tips lifts my spirit with so much going on in the world! Thank you :)
When you go over two minutes you should have to drink a terrible flavor of coffee after. I think it would add to the excitement.
Michael Nichols maybe he'll hardly find anything terrible :P
The idea is good though
Good idea, would be hard for him to time it though as he will only actually know after editing
Next tuesday: how to shoot a B-roll UNDER the rain? Just sayin', it could be fun to watch :D
Got to love a two minute Tuesday. I get to go back in time as its Wednesday here in Australia haha.
Love the content Pete, keep it up. Love how you get straight to the point.
You know what u the best tutor in my life coz till the day u started your vlogs there was no one who can teach me a thing about camera about lens abt the panning abt the angle about the sound in a video like how imp and how much does it matters and many more . Thanks alot peter to be tutor or a teacher like you n guess what today is A teacher days in india...
And I wish you a warm Teacher's day. ✌️🤗 Keep goin and stay blessed.
Can u make another video on product photography tutorial at a cheap budget...
With love from India.. 😁😀
LOL INDIA 👍🏻
*Shame I just blew my budget on my new 17-50mm 2.8 lens, although I do know now what to save up for next in my lens* *arsenal. Some really good points here Pete! As always, your videos help me out on my path to become a professional* *videographer & film maker. Appreciate ya* ! 🙏 ✌
you should definitely get a macro lens like the 100mm, great versatility like Peter said in the video. One of my friends who does wedding photography always has one of those with him as his fav lens and shoots great pics with it!
17-50 2.8 is also a great lens to upgrade from the kit lens
yeah for sure, and indeed the 17-50 is pretty neat so far as far as I can tell, only a bit more wobbly than the kit lens (which has pretty good vibration reduction built in, whereas the Sigma 17-50mm has optical stabilization in combo with a lot more weight so a bit more shakiness).
And yeah bro, thanks! That sequence from the cooking from a couple vids back kinda proves all of his points haha + that he's just a great videographer of course :)
Sven Vee completely agreed so informative get more out of this then I do when I go into a camera store
Trying to sell my Canon 17-55 2.8 because Panasonic life
Good God I love your work. It's stunning. The video, the photos. Can't stop looking. I never thought about a macro for all those "looks" I've been wanting. Thank you!
Will definitely buy one!! Thanks Peter!
Probably a quite stupid question for you camera geeks out there, but what is the difference between a macro lens and a prime lens. I own a 50mm prime lens and I know its used for portraits. But my friend had a 50mm macro lens and i couldn't find a single difference.
Someone wanna help me out and tell me?😄😃
Did anyone ever answer? They aren't mutually exclusive.
Prime means you are fixed at 50mm, as opposed to a Zoom lens which might have a range of 24-105mm or whatever, which would allow you to zoom in or out as you please. There are advantages to both.
Macro means you can focus on things which are very close to the camera and pick up a lot of detail, so if you wanted some really good flower/insect/other type photos this would be an advantage. Both yours and your friends are 50mm Prime, his is additionally macro.
That is a very shallow run down.
LoH Bros Yeah, Nobody ever replied. Thanks... 😊☺
Your knuckles have suffered R E C E N T L Y.
Fell off my OneWheel at warp speed lol.
Damn! Be careful! >:(
Peter McKinnon should have had a warp stabilizer instead
hehe that was a good one
Yea I was wondering if it was a tattoo 😂😂😂
I use my macro for everything. it's actually one of my favorites for portraiture because of the combination of detail and bokeh is perfect for my style
LOVE it... I got the chance to borrow the L macro from a friend and I fell in love with the way the colours looked and with the sharp and detailed results. It was the first time shooting an L lens and that was the point at which I decided to invest in quality Glas instead of buying more and more cheap lenses:D
What is the best budget macro lens?
What is the best budget Whiskey?
The one you have, buy some extension tubes 😉
Antonio A.A. I dont have one thats why the question is here (I wanna buy one)
Whiskey any lens plus extension tubes makes a macro lens. That's what Antonio was trying to say
Lucas Ward ooh okay I got it. Then.. you can recommend me a good extension tube?
Where is the XBOX Giveaway?
I never thought to ever use a macro lens until this vid! Canny wait!! Pics and vid look like magic ✨✨✨
I love this video so much! You always have so many awesome tips
boom😍
Who else likes the video before the video even begins?
Love these TMT's, so short and full of information. Keep up the good work Pete! :D
Yes!!! Definitely is something to try!!!
Can someone tell me what an L lens is?
Eric Edward Jones Canon "Luxury" Lenses
Thank you!
Eric Edward Jones they're the best lenses Canon makes
Its like AMG at Mercedes ^^
Canon L series lenses are the best quality lenses that canon makes, they are geared towards professional use and they are full frame lenses
Please Sir Make a detail video about canon 50mm F 1.8 lense
Here my answer om your first comment: If you subscribe my channel I will subscribe your channel, maybe we can learn from eachother but I film with a camcorder,at the moment I lent a DSRL nikon from my sister so I can try with this but that is all new for me
csomersbloem rule 1 in CZcams advertisement, never ask someone to subscribe to you
okey thanks for the tip, I won;t do it again
Totally picked up the L series lens pretty much because of this video. Really dig your videos Pete! Keep it up!
Thanks for the video Peter! you never fail to fill my brain with new knowledge to use in my photography and film, thanks a lot and continue the amazing work!
Do a video ob shooting a snowflake with a macro.It would be SOOO cool.
Like kf you agree
SP3CTRUM nice link man
HenkShows i didnt even mean it ha! Free phone service bug thing
SP3CTRUM haha i know :D just joking
I don't even have a camera 😫 *hint, hint* 😂 jks. Love your stuff, keep it up peter!
Haha sneaky
Hit up the 1m giveaway guys! Mark iv 🤖🤖🤖 I would LOVE to have that camera! 32mpixel if I remember correctly, touch screen and a whole lot more.
Thanks for your tips.. Love the cinematic
Those shoots were just mind blowing, Pete you are just awesome.
I hate you, you me spend so much money. Macro lens > food.
I mean, with a macro lens you can make less food appear larger 🤷🏻♀️
Denise Lisboa I like your logic. Lmao
That rain b-roll at the end.....inspirational. Plus, we need rain out here in the west.
Am a fan of macro photography. Love it.
Great work Peter
I have stumbled on your videos three different times. this is amazing that everything I want to ask youtube about the answers you have! superb! I'm now subscribing! keep up the good work
The ending was super peaceful! Great short video.
Love it! Thank you. I live shooting tiny things close up. It’s fascinating! I no longer kill even the smallest of bugs, after I took a close up of of a teeny spider. The eyes were so amazing, cute, alive, I’ve not looked at a bug the same since.
Ok, so I don't usually leave comments, and I'm clearly doing so here to have a shot in the contest. But honestly, I've been watching you're channel for some time now and it's really brilliant stuff. Always a good place to find some inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Very cool. Definitely gives me something to try out!
I have totally been eyeing the 100mm macro for a while...definitley need it now!
I LOVE two minute Tuesdays, I look forward to them all day!
thanks for the tip! the Macro functionality is always amazing! there are also some 70-200 zoom lenses with macro functionality that could give you more flexibility, of course you would be sacrificing some quality but it is quite a valid option!
Love your videos Peter. Keep it up!
You've came a long way pete!i'm so happy that i saw your videos when i got into photography!
I recently got the 60mm 2.8 Macro and I also use that lens for almost everything. Glad to know I kinda made the right choice. Thanks Peter for your videos!
I have the Canon 24-70 f/4 and it has a macro mode built in. Love that I can get in close.
hey, peter ,, i real appriciate on everything you put out here for us,, cant stop learning new things from you,,, keep it up,
Awesome video dude! Keep 'em coming! That 100mm EF version was one of the first lenses I ever bought about 10 years ago when I first started out with photography. Never looked back. I use it for most of my portraits and commercial shots in studio. Definitely one of the sharpest lenses I own. Another great lens is the fantastic plastic 50mm 1.8. Not quite as sharp, but damn thats a lot of bokeh for such a low price!
I need a macro lens - I currently have a 18-55 and while I can manage some cool shots with it, there isn't quite enough there to really make the shots pop and show as much detail as I'd like.
I hate insects but taking a super close up shot of a bee was my first "Woah" moment and I don't think I'll ever forget it.
Great video! Now that sure adds to my list of reasons for saving up for a macro lens!
All those shots are dope!!!
