FS7: Anyone using the canon 65mm makro lens? (needed for small water-insects,

[Publimix]

Is the canon MP-E 65mm lens usable for video? Any experiences.
I need a good makro setup for some insects and aquarium shots. I use the Tamron 90mm which is good, but for going even smaller I need something stronger.

Zeiss 100 either ZE or Contax modded.

I have the 60mm version and it is incredible. A huge step up from my old Tamron

Have you tried adding an extension tube set, or a bellows, to your lens?

 

[Morton Molyneux]

Extension tubes, old Nikkor bellows and 135 bellows lens. Just dont breath when shooting video.
cheers

Hi Ben, what is the difference between the Tamron and the Zeiss? Tamron does pretty well in tests.

Astonishingly sharp with a beautiful rendition.
