youcallmenny Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 This tutorial series on youtube is helpful to understand the basics of reef photography. I have a Canon EOS 1200D and between a custom WB and using it's autofocus have been able to achieve some pretty nice pictures. I don't have a macro lens yet but I do have a decent macro diopter.

What's a macro Diopter [emoji23] I'm just trying to find something to help get good macro shots without buying a macro lens haha.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Put simply it's just a thing that screws on to the end of whatever lens you're using like a lens filter would. It basically fakes your lens into being either macro or telescopic depending on what type of diopter you attach. A macro lens is my next camera purchase though. It's hard to fake the funk. Check ebay, you can find these for super cheap and also macro lens' themselves are pretty inexpensive on there. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1fApoIpXXXXa2XFXXq6xXFXXX9/52MM-0-45x-Wide-Angle-font-b-Macro-b-font-font-b-Lens-b-font-High.jpg That's what they typically look like, though that can vary.

cjmdh Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I picked up a set of 4 on Amazon for $9. Just check your lens to make sure you get the right size. Vivitar +1 +2 +4 +10 Close-Up Macro Filter Set with Pouch (58mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004DRCEDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_z41yybWRZ8G94 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I think I'm gonna get a set of those lens also. But mine are 52mm I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
