    Love the video! I really do miss watching some macro insect videos of you taking pictures of bugs and little creatures you have found in the past. Something I as a long time viewer of your videos do miss are macro photography videos of bugs and insects in you walking around and showing us skills in better taking pictures of the little creatures. Please consider making them again because there isn't many macro photography channels out there and I do miss seeing that here in your channel. Great video btw!

I just took some photos of a few spiders, springtails and snow scorpionflies. Even a braconid wasp was adventuring on the snow! So it's coming our way full steam, the spring, summer and BUGS!! I can't wait! Thank you for your lovely channel and excellent photos! :)

  • @trevorcurtis9643
    @trevorcurtis9643 2 года назад

    Hello Micael. I have used mft, apsc, and full frame for macro in the past. After using the different systems, I have three questions that I hope I can get your opinion on. If anyone else has info they'd like to share on the subject, please feel free.
    1. Is magnification equal on all systems? For example, if there was a 1x magnification lens designed for ff and you attached it to a mft camera, would it make it more magnified on that sensor (like 2x)? Is magnification dependent on the lens or the system? Is a 1x macro lens designed for mft, like the Olympus 60mm, going to be 1x for that sensor and would it be different magnification on a different sensor size?
    2. You have said in previous videos that you prefer ff for your macro and you have your reasons. Could you make a video or just a response where you photograph the same subject with same settings, lighting, etc on mft, apsc, and ff and try to make the framing of the photos look as similar as you can between the three systems/photos. Then, point out the differences you observe so that we can see for ourselves what qualities are to be gained by using different sensors/systems.
    3. Does sensor size give any advantage with depth of field at high magnification? Could a mft at 2x magnification have a deeper depth of field than a 2x magnification on a ff, for example. Assuming you use an aperture that would give the same depth of field on each system? Would someone have an easier time getting more in focus on a smaller sensor compared to larger sensor for macro photography in general?

    • @MicaelWidell
      @MicaelWidell  2 года назад

      You have to understand that the lens just projects an image onto the sensor, regardless of the sensor size. If you use the same lens and settings, but change the sensor behind it to a smaller one, it is only going to crop the image that is projected onto the sensor. Magnification is defined as size projected on the sensor compared to real life size. So if you change to a smaller sensor it is going to get you closer to the subject in framing, but the magnification is the same. Sensor size does not really give any advantages in depth of field at higher magnifications, because you are always limited by diffraction in the end. So really, the only benefit with a larger sensor in high magnification macro photography is that you get better colors and dynamic range.

    • @MicaelWidell
      @MicaelWidell  2 года назад

      These are very interesting questions that people often misunderstand, so it is a great idea to make a video and try to explain them. Putting this on my ideas list!
