Photographic close-up mirror

The new model is made of silver aluminum alloy, which looks more beautiful. Especially suitable for Canon's 70-200. This product goes well with Canon's "Xiaobai". Nikon's 70-200, it is recommended to use the old model, black and black are very harmonious. The changes in the new model are mainly changes in design.

New effect of Canon 70-200, silver-white lens.

70-200 lens with this close-up, instantly improve the rate of turning around outside. Looks like an x-artifact. In fact, this close-up is really useful. What's the use? The following is from several aspects.

1. Maximize the potential of telephoto lenses.

Generally, the nearest working distance of telephoto lens is above 1 m, and it is impossible to shoot within 1 m. Although telephoto has the natural advantage of zooming in and out, if we shorten the working distance of the lens to 20cm, what kind of effect will it be if we use telephoto end again? Let's take Canon 70-200mm lens as an example.

The closest focusing distance of Canon's 70-200mm lens is1.2m. Even if the object is pulled to the 200mm end, macro can't be taken.

After installing the close-up lens, the nearest working distance of 70-200 is 20cm (the distance from the front end of the lens to the subject). At this nearest working distance, you can also zoom the focal length to 200 mm, what will the effect be? Look at the test below.

The effect of shooting without close-up lens at the nearest focal length of 70-200.

The effect of shooting with close-up lens at the nearest focal length of 70-200 and 70 mm. Judging from this imaging effect, the center and edge effects are good.

This is the effect of 70-200mm with close-up lens. Regardless of the imaging effect. As far as magnification is concerned, this magnification exceeds the magnification of 1: 1 of the macro lens.

2. The telephoto close-up shooting is powerful.

The telephoto lens, the imaging effect is generally not bad, especially the high-quality lens like 70-200. The lens structure is quite different from the macro lens. This difference is another effect in macro shooting.

The 70-200 is not as sharp as a professional lens when it is fitted with a close-up, but it can be described as stunning from Jiao Wai. The light spot is round, colorful and dreamy. This is another feeling.

This effect is closer to the close-up effect. The focused image is not clear, but the Jiao Wai effect is cool. How is this circle effect realized? Wolf clan introduced a method before. You can try: "A coin makes your lens round! 》。

3. The subject matter of shooting has greatly increased.

A good telephoto lens is not cheap, because it is heavy and its usage rate is not high. Generally used to shoot portraits and landscapes, rarely used to shoot macro. After adding a close-up shot, you can also take a macro subject, or you can take one less shot. Relatively speaking, close-ups are much smaller than lenses.

A telephoto lens plus a close-up lens can shoot portraits, landscapes, macro and sketches, and one lens can achieve all-round shooting, which is the ultimate performance of telephoto lenses.

Tip: Macro photography, tripod and cable arrangement are necessary tools.

What is the imaging effect of using this product? From the previous feedback, 90% of users feel good, and it is a good shooting weapon. There are also cases where a small number of users feel that the effect is average and useless. What's the problem? There are the following points.

First: Finding the nearest focal length is the key.

After the close-range lens is installed, the autofocus ability of the telephoto lens is very limited, and it can only be focused at the appropriate closest focusing distance.

Here, the working distance from the front end of the lens to the subject is 22cm (here, the working distance is not the closest focusing distance). In this range, the telephoto lens can focus automatically after being fitted with a close-up lens (the response is very slow, so manual focusing is recommended).

Second, there is a big gap in the effect of filling light.

For macro shooting, it is a very technical shooting project in itself. Some people think that the effect is not good and they can't make a good picture, which may be due to technical reasons. For example, the construction of shooting environment and the effect of using lighting when shooting. Let's take a look at the effect of the close-up of 70-200 plus provided by Wolf Powder @ Hansheng.

These two works, the author used the old close-up lens to shoot the effect, from the imaging effect, it is also very sharp and the picture quality is very clear. It should be noted that the author's shooting is very skillful. The background is black, which makes the picture concise, and the backlight is used as the main light and shadow outline effect.

Third: use manual focus to enlarge the screen observation.

When shooting, you can use the screen to view, enlarge the screen and check whether the focus is clear and accurate. Need to be reminded that in the process of focusing, we found through screen observation that the focus is clear. Why does the picture blur when the shutter is pressed? Either the camera shakes when the shutter is pressed, or the tripod is unstable and slightly shakes. It is very important to shoot a tripod at a macro, especially the flexibility of the tripod head, which will make you easy to control and greatly improve efficiency.

The water droplets photographed with close-ups are clearly focused.

In theory, any shot can use close-ups, and the main function of close-ups is to enlarge the subject. However, in order to ensure the picture effect, it is recommended to take a medium-telephoto lens, such as the following lens, which is very suitable for close-ups.

There are many close-ups on the Internet, with prices ranging from tens to hundreds. But most of them are magnifying glasses, and the shooting effect is not ideal. The design of this close-up is obviously different from other similar products. It is made up of two pieces of glass, which looks thicker.

Why use two pieces of glass? Technically, the system called achromatic double-cemented optical lens can effectively solve the chromatic aberration problem, make the light of different colors in the spectrum converge at one point, and effectively solve the dispersion problem.

In addition, there are double-sided BBAR broadband antireflection films. In fact, the most important function is to reduce the reflection of the lens, that is, to increase the transmittance of light, and then paint the outer circumference of the lens with matte black paint. In the actual shooting experience, both center imaging and edge imaging are better. Unlike ordinary close-ups, except for the center imaging, the edge imaging is very poor, which is the advantage of the system using achromatic double glue optical lens.

In practical use, this filter does have its advantages. Especially the edge imaging and color difference control are very good. Telephoto lens, the shooting effect can be comparable to professional macro lens.

In addition, it should be noted that this close-up is waterproof and antifouling. Easy to clean, not easy to stain, effectively protect the lens, suitable for professional photographers to create in harsh environment.
