Hey everyone; I'm Jerry. And I'm Gord. And we're the Fuji Guys. Today we're
gonna go through some macro photography. Yeah. I have the 60mm F2.4
mounted on the X-E3. And I have here the new 80mm Macro F2 8 mounted here
on the X-T2. We're gonna go out take some pictures show you some of the
differences between these two lenses and hopefully you get some great shots from
today. And if you want to learn more, hey, stick around.
When you're working with macro photography one of the nice things to
make the lighting a little bit more dramatic is to take the flash off of the
camera. To do that there's a couple of options including using a corded
option. Anything that works with the Canon OCE III will actually work within
the Fuji system with any of our X-Series cameras so when you're working you can
actually move the flash to a number of different locations have a bit of fun
with it and be able to practice and try the
different options within there. It works really well when you're working with
macro photography so at that point you can capture some really
dramatic lighting depending on the subject you're working with.
One of the really nice parts
about the 80mm Macro is that it's stabilized. It gives you up to five stops
of stabilization on four different axes. Works whether that's shooting in photos or in
videos. That's a really cool feature; that's one of the ones I really am
looking forward to. It's actually the first prime that we've stabilized as well.
If you have a macro lens or even if you don't have a macro lens and you want to
get a little closer to your subject you can pick up one of the extension tubes.
There's a couple of different lengths that are available. They actually go in
between the camera and the lens and that'll actually allow you to be able to
go a little bit closer to your your subject to be able to capture those
images a lot closer.
On the 80mm macro one of the great advantages to this one is that it
actually allows you to also use the teleconverters; whether it's the 1.4 or
the 2x teleconverter they're completely compatible another benefit of
the teleconverters is that you can get further away from your subject this is
not to scare that subject when you're photographing it.
That was our video on some of the tips and tricks on macro photography with the
Fujifilm lenses. I really enjoyed using the XT 2 with the
80mm. It was great having be able to do those handheld shots without
having to worry about using a tripod. And I got to say that how light the 60mm
is with the X-E3; it is amazing to work .with
Nice and easy I don't feel tired at all. A lot of fun today. It was a lot of fun.
