NiSi 77mm Close-up Lens Review on a 100-400mm Zoom & 100mm Macro
Vložit

- This video focuses on testing the NiSi 77mm close-up lens on both a macro lens, such as the Canon 100mm & a telephoto zoom ( EF 100-400 IS II ). I tested not only how the default magnification ratios were increased but also how the working distance/minimum focusing distance were affected on these setups. The review includes both studio shots taken in a controlled environment and a more pragmatic approach via in the field test shots.

Another fine review of this NiSi product Peter. Well done 👍👍
Thanks Alex, I mean magpie whisperer!
Real world experiments like this inspire my trust and confidence before purchasing. Thank you.
Hey Anthony! Thanks for your kind feedback. Have a great day:)
Nisi make great products and you done a great review here mate, those macro images are insane Peter and thanks for showing your thought process too.
Thanks a lot champ! Hope you’e having a nice week in the Outback!:)
Thanks for sharing the review Peter. Some interesting pics showing the results. Well done on the video mate 📸🤙
Thanks Adrian! Have a nice weekend!:)
Great video Peter, loved how we got an inside scoop into your thought process and how you work your magic with your equipment. Even though macro isn't for me I can truely appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into it and I really appreciate the beautiful images you produce. Keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot Izzy, much appreciated! Right back at you mate:) Have a great weekend!
Really interesting real world tests Peter .😀
Thanks Chris, much appreciated. Have a nice weekend!:)
Excellent review and some great images too! I didn't know anything like this was available. Very interesting; thanks for sharing!
Thank you buddy, much appreciated. Have a nice day!
@@peterviragphoto You too! I just looked at NiSi's website. These are not that expensive, especially with the image quality you get!
I agree, the image quality is decent for sure!
Great video! Will definitely look forward to a comparison as well to the raynox. :)
Thanks a lot! I combined the 58mm with the Raynox today and did another video already with both the 58 and 77mm stacked on the 100mm.😁 p.s will compare the 58 to the DCR-250 as well sometime for sure
It's a great tool to have while you're going around with your standard zoom lens like hiking or so and trying to be as light as possible.
Totally agree! Hope you’re having a nice week bud!
I wouldn't have taken a lens like this seriously if it weren't for your channel. This lens isn't cheap but its results seem to be worth the price. I no longer have my 100mm or 100-400mm but I suppose it should work well on the 70-200 2.8. Great job on this, Peter!
Hey mate. Thanks a lot for your comment. I didn’t have super high expectations but I’ve been testing both close-up lenses more and more and still loving the results. In my latest video I actually stacked both😀😀
@@peterviragphoto Wow! I'll check it out! BTW, I often have trouble finding your channel because I can never remember how to spell it and you seem to have your settings on private so you don't show up of channels that sub me.
So so interesting Peter
Love the way you have constructed this video. The real life shots are stunning.
Top review - will be very useful for macro photographers - as it’s so detailed and practical 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot Dave, very kind of you! Tried my best to be thorough but also concise at the same time haha. Have a great day!
@@peterviragphoto it’s good mate. You should get supported by the manufacturers on these vids 👍👍👍
@@NBNatureTrailvan thanks mate. These product were sent to me, so it was a great opportunity to test them out!
@@peterviragphoto there you go. You should make something from your films. Special
Peter, your photos are always awesome and there are so many AMAZING photos in this one as well........, but my favorite is the water droplets at 8:14!! That is a great product!! Thank you for sharing. 🤗🙏💖
Thanks a lot John, very kind of you! Have good one buddy:)
@@peterviragphoto Peter, I am always impressed with your photos. And I really like the info I get at the same time. Thank YOU!!!!🤗
@@JonnyPink65 Thanks a lot champ!😀
So cool 🙏🏻
Thanks mate!
Great video with very scientific procedures, Peter! Nicely done. I wonder how this compares to the raynox DCR-250.
Thanks mate. Will be testing out both and do some comparison down the track.
Wow, it's amazing,thanks for sharing and best wishes from Arijit Mahata👍😊
Thanks a lot, much appreciated!
I've been wanting to watch this video for a week or so and finally got the chance. Great shots and a great review Peter. I take it the Raynox is in retirement now?
Hey Andrew. Thanks a lot mate. I haven’t retired the Raynox yet but the 58mm on the 100mm macro has been great. Will compare the two down the track :-)
Awesome review and extremely detailed. I thought it would degrade the images alot but does t seem to have much of a negative effect
Hey James. Yes, I was very impressed with the results tbh and doesn’t affect image quality or you’d have to pixel peep quite a bit to find anything, especially in the centre of the frame. Cheers
Execelente equipo
Thx!
Hi! I am so glad I found your review. It is very comprehensive for me, thank you! My question is, if I use the 58mm version on my Canon 100mm macro vs the 77mm version what will be the difference in the images I can create? At this time I want to get the 58mm one to try on my Canon 50mm f1.4. I love this 50mm lens because of how wide open it can get and I want to see what the close up filter can do on it. But I dont mind getting the 77mm one as well if it provides significant additional advantages. Thank you!
Hi Smita. If I could recommend one closeup lens at this stage I’d go for the 49mm Nisi one to maximise magnification and essentially double to 2:1 instead of the 77 mm and I really like that setup and I usually pair it with my Laowa 90mm as well. Cheers
@@peterviragphoto Thank you so much!! When you use the smaller diameter close-up filter on the larger diameter lens face is there loss of light or some image quality? Do you need to compensate in some way? Just for my clarification. Thanks!
Vignetting is very negligible, e.g. on the Laowa 90mm which has 67mm filter size too, I never have to adjust much in post and the sharpness doesn’t suffer. Cheers
@@peterviragphoto Thank you again. This is a very smart option that I would not have known if it were not for you.
привет))) удачи))))))))

Interesting video, have you tried Canon's 250D and 500D Close up lenses at all and how do they compare?
Hey Noel. Thanks for dropping by. I haven’t tried those yet sorry. Cheers
What kind of soft box are you using for flash? Thanks
Hey Kenneth. It’s a reflector/diffuser kit but unfortunately can’t send you a link any more as the small business that used to make them closed down earlier this year:( Cheers
Hello! Tell me, why macro photography needs that equipments as Flash and other covers to take photos so close? I mean, u cannot do that only with the lens?
Hi. This is a reflector/diffuser kit. For macro ( especially beyond 1:1 magnification) you need a strong artificial light source that is diffused to properly illuminate your subject. Cheers
@@peterviragphoto Even in light scenes/areas?
I have the RF version of this lens on an R6 Mk 2. The lens, without any attachments, achieves 1.4x magnification at a minimum distance of 26cm (from the sensor or about 10cm from the front of the lens). If I added the NiSi 77mm to the front of this lens, do you think it would work? It's min distance is already much more than the naked lens (22cm vs 10cm). If you set your camera up at a distance of 25cm from the target and add the NiSi 77mm but don't move the camera, would the image be enlarged or look the same?
Hi Simon. I would suggest buying either the 58mm ( +5 diopter ) or the new 9 diopter 49mm close-up lenses instead:
nisifilters.com.au/product/nisi-close-up-lens-kit-nc-58mm-with-49-and-52mm-adaptors/ref/peterviragphoto/
nisifilters.com.au/product/nisi-close-up-lens-kit-nc-49mm-with-62-and-67mm-adaptors/ref/peterviragphoto/
Both of the above would work better with the RF version & provide you with more magnification. Re how the MFD would be affected you can check out my reviews and make an estimation. I haven’t got the RF version but the results would be similar. Cheers
@@peterviragphoto Thanks Peter, it's difficult picking out these really critical bits of information from all over the place, and I appreciate your guidance.
All good Simon. Wishing you all the best & I hope you’ll be happy with whatever you choose! Cheers
