Macro shooting with whale lens

At the prompting of a friend, I read here a foreign forum about macro photography. I want to share the result.

The forum was taken as an example of photographs taken with a modified lens canon ef 35-80 1: 3.5-5.6. I decided to “torment” my canon ef 28-80 1: 3.5-5.6 - the whale lens from the Canon SLR film.

Actually the whole modification is to remove the front lens:

In order to remove the front lens, it only took to unscrew the three screws around the perimeter of the rim.

After that, either flip and shake the lens gently, or pry by a special groove.



Everything, you can put the lens on the camera and start taking pictures. In order to flew into the lens of dust, you can screw the protective filter.

The subject must be close enough (5-10 cm), and the lighting must be correspondingly good.

I will give a few examples (on click full-size photo 10 Mpix):










It is a good macro, and the budget.

ps the most popular "whale" 18-55 does not have screws on the rim, so it will be a bit more difficult to remove the lens from it (if anyone is very interested, I will figure out how to disassemble 18-55 and write).

Dare,% user%, take macro shots!
