    I have Nikon 5100. Is it possible to squeeze something better out of a tamron 70-300 (macro mode) + macro rings? What is this going to happen?

      You can experiment with a whale in them, the increase in macro is usually higher than that of televisions

        By the way, yes. But there is a slightly different principle. Lenses with focal lengths up to 100mm work better on macro rings, the magnification factor is higher. And on focal lenses after 100 - macrolens, rings give little effect. I even read the explanation for this from the point of view of optics, but already forgot.

    I have a Nikon D5600. I use a tamron 90 mm macro lens (f017). Recently installed rings. The increase of course has become much larger, but absolutely nothing is visible when focusing. To just see the object, you have to highlight it with a flashlight and twist the ISO to the maximum. Then you can already take pictures normally. Of course, this method is suitable only for subject shooting. I can’t imagine how people take pictures in nature

      Rings are usually used with standard lenses. Yours is already with small DF and aperture. Yes, Arkady wrote that for macro sometimes you need to have a couple of miniature nuclear explosions to illuminate. There are flash systems for macro.

      And how did you connect industrial with macro rings? Macro rings directly to the carcass, this is clear. And how to connect the lens with the rings? Which adapter is needed?

    Very interested in the topic of macro. I am completely new to photography. There is a Sony a7m2 lens and there is a Konica hexanon ar 1.4 / 50 lens (early version with f16). He stands through the adapter. Is it possible to use macro rings with this lens. I'd like to try to shoot a macro.

    Good day! Give some advice. I can’t get the exact information anywhere.
    I ordered macro rings without autofocus on the 18-55 G whale lens on the Nikon 5300. They write that they will not work at all with it, and specifically, the aperture value cannot be set. That will work only with a similar whale 18-55, but with the marking D with the removal of the aperture adjustment on the lens itself. Is not it?

        I took these, only under a different brand http://ali.pub/4145pi... With them, both aperture control and autofocus. And with lenses and AF-S and AF. AF-P did not check - there are none. The only stabilizers on some are starting to fail.

    There is a sony nex 5r with a whale 18-55 and the need for shooting moles. Is it possible to somehow solve this problem with the help of macro rings, or still need to look for a macro with an adapter? (I would especially appreciate examples)

      If the resolution of 18-55 suits, then you can do with macro rings.

    Good day. Please tell me, I have a canon 550d and an ef-s 17-55 lens, there are no others. The lens is cool, but I want to try macro, because I want to understand whether the macro rings are suitable for this? given that the lens itself is completely not intended for macro

      The macro rings convert ANY lens into a macro lens. The macro rings themselves can be simple - without transferring information from the lens to the camera (non-contact) - in this case there is no autofocus, with a contact group - autofocus works and the most expensive ones - with a “screwdriver” - control of non-motorized autofocus lenses is preserved (if the camera has a focusing motor ).
      There is no need for autofocus for macro, so you can do with any rings.
      PS. When shooting macro, DOF is very small, so the aperture is closed to 8 or more. The shutter speed can be long enough to make hand-held photography impossible.

      they are suitable, they are for this purpose. You need macro rings with pins to control the aperture when shooting

      With silicone oil, drop the cakes onto the thread. Pochekat until the oil spills and try to twist. Let's wipe the oil off. Scoring for everything on the cut, it’s like a brud, and because of that it jammed. Admittedly, I once added such a method to the Industry.

      to shoot at a scale of 1:1, you need to move the lens to a distance equal to its focal length.

    Having recently bought a Canon 24-105L Is USM Macro lens and hoping that in the macro plan you can replace my Sigma 70mm 2.8 EX DG Macro, but I got stuck with the non-receiver in 24-105, the minimum focusing distance is 45cm, if in Sigma 70 total 4 -5cm

    What is the sense of setting the macro ring at 24-105, what is the meaning of the L optics? І you can change the focus on the scales

        The main problem of the Sigma lens is the presence of a stabilizer, which is rather strongly rated.
        + 75mm is not easy for an hour

        In most cases, I have a minimum focal length in Canon, but sometimes you need to buy all the details, so you need to carry 2 lenses with you

    IMHO:
    1. Macro rings are close-up photography, not macro, i.e. shooting from very close range. The photos with a snail on a mushroom from the G44-2 review on this site are an example of a close-up photograph.
    2. If you want to shoot macro using a lens, then you need a reverse ring - a ring with a thread for screwing in instead of a filter on one side and a mount for your system on the other. One guy on YouTube said that a 50mm PR with a reversible ring gives a 1:1 magnification. The change in focal length is inversely proportional to the magnification factor (the smaller the zoom factor, the greater the magnification, but at the same time the device will have to be kept closer to the subject).
    The following will be general information from my personal experience.
    Soviet Geliki are well suited for macro photography, because... Their FR is 58mm (44m2-7 or 44-2) or 50mm (77m4, etc.). A big plus is the adjustable aperture. Also, with a closed aperture, a sharp picture is obtained. You will have to focus using the handles, because... in this case, the helicoid will rotate, not the lens block.
    My macro lens is a Nikkor 35-80 with a reversing ring. Firstly, because these are ideal focal lengths (at 80 mm there will be a close-up photo, at 35 mm it will be almost a micro photo, not a macro photo). Secondly, there is an aperture adjustment ring. Thirdly, even with the reversing ring it focuses like a regular lens, there is no need to move the body. It is perfect for focus stacking.
    And most importantly - a flash and (very preferably) a diffuser. In bright sunny weather you can do without them, but with them the result will exceed all expectations
