Almost everyone enjoys macrophotography and I've been longing to have macro lenses so I would be able take great pictures of bugs, waterdrops, etc. But, I took these pictures only using my 18-55 kit lens and a "reverse ring". Ordinary lenses can be used for macrophotography by using reverse ring. This ring attaches to the filter thread on the front of a lens and makes it possible to attach the lens in reverse or to attach the lens to your body's camera. Reverse ring is really cheap. It cost you only Rp 100.000-125.000 (note: I bought it 2 years ago), while macro lenses price could be around Rp 4.000.000-more.
So for anyone that really craving to learn macrophotography, maybe you should try using reverse ring. Enjoy!
wow... keren yie,,, pake lensa 18-55 biasa bisa kan ya?
ReplyDeleteah i know this stuff! and there's also another type to change your kit lens into fish eye :D but i cant find some cheap one here in sgpore. it costs around $100-200 :(
ReplyDelete@sinta: bisa sinta, skrg udah banyak kayanya yang jual.. :)
ReplyDelete@tasia: oh really? does it work like super wide angle lens? I have one and it costs Rp 350.000, but it's not really work for me. And anyway, we can create fisheye effects in photoshop. LOL.
kak ayi, kan kemaren aku udah kepikiran buat beli reverse ring. cuma abis baca-baca tentang extension tube malah jadi gundah gulana gitu hehe :p menurut kak ayi, mendingan beli reverse ring ato extension tube?
ReplyDelete@prilly: aku juga udah punya extension tube sih, tapi ternyata jarang aku pake. karena ada vignette kalo pake extension tube, asa jadi gak maksimal kalo mau motret wide. Lagian keduanya beda fungsi juga hehe, kalo emang lebih pengen eksperimen sih aku enakan reverse ring, karena jadi motret2 hal2 yang gak biasa kita foto. Tapi kalo km emang pingin motret yang wide, yah gpp juga beli extension tube :D
ReplyDeleteoooh gitu i see i see hehe. kayaknya udah mantep beli reverse ring aja hehehe. makasih ya kak ayiieee :)
