Macro Tubing the Sgblade
I’ve always wanted to shoot macro video. I can’t afford a decent macro lens so I bought a set of macro tubes of ebay for $10. After trying out a few different lenses, I found my 50mm Mamiya Sekor f2 had the best results with the Sgblade. It would flare up the least because the front lens element is recessed in quite a bit creating a hood. Sometimes I’m literally a few cms away from the subject.
Edit: The Mamiya Sekor lens that I shot this vid with is now on eBay starting at $15au
