Good to see that you got yourself an a6700! It seems very capable. Great images, you got very close to some of the animals. Well done! Looking forward to future content with the a6700 😊
Kudos for the unique content, informative commentary, and clever intro, Jens! IMO you have demonstrated that the Sony eye AF was not intended for the type of macro you had in mind. Another test might be to photograph a printed page that has one side filled with an animal eye, and the other side filled with a different subject - see if the 6700 will pick up the eye. I have the 6700 but don’t use targeted AF very much - prefer spot zone focus on wide field with tracking (basically the default AF-ON button assignment.) Tracking sensitivity is another factor (responsive to lock-on) - which were you using? (I use higher end of responsive.) Am surprised your 90mm macro did so well at those distances when the lens was optimized for macro distances. How long did you have to wait to find a fox that was feeding?😊. Cheers!
I just subscribed! I was truly impressed by your photos. I have the a6700 and, like you, am very impressed with it. Definitely going to try out the a6700/90 f2.8 macro combo as soon as possible! Happy New Year!
Hello, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and admiring your work. I want to buy a camera and lens for taking photos of the iris. You once said that you regretted buying a Sony a7R iv, but in some video you said that for iris photos, full frame and 2x magnification are best suited, the real question is, what camera and lens do you think would be ideal for iris photos, sony a7riv or sony a6700 as well as a Sony a7iii or a7iv, and a laowa 25mm ultra macro or 90-100mm Laowa lens. I want the photos to be as high quality and detailed as possible. I will be very grateful for your answer.
Hey, "that for iris photos, full frame and 2x magnification are best suited" hm... I would not say that, as there is no advantage using full frame (and as those cameras are way more expensive). a6700 is great but if you only want to use it for photography an a6000/a6300 or similar is enough. Laowa 25mm starts at 2.5x magnification which is too much on a crop sensor. I would use an aps-c camera and laowa 60mm/100mm 2x with external flash. (LR/Photo AI for post processing is more important than a 1000 euro lens in my opinion)
I see what you have been trying to do, but it seems a bit predictable that you do not get the desired results right away. The eye-AF of any camera's is not designed for this type of (close) photography of eyes. When we capture iris information, is is based on putting your eyes close to a camera with designed device around it to hold everything still. It is more of a medical procedure, like looking into the eye and capture the state of the sensor and surroundings inside the eye (for example after a retinal detachment surgery). You can't expect an animal to hold still the same way as people do this. Any way, it remains a great video of what you have discovered about the a6700 and how it responds. A lot of things sound promising indeed!
Yes and no: apsc got 1.5 crop. But when filming at 4k120 it only Uses inner Pixels which is equivalent to 2.5x when you Film 4k you get a 5x crop when digitally zoom to 1080p Video.
Thank you for such an amazing video presentation. I wish if you could suggest any good affordable lens for macro photography. I got a a6700, but I have only kit lens 18-135mm.
One is part of my collection. I use it with the Sony 90mm macro a lot. It's easier to use it than with a FF camera, which is funny. It allows me to back off a little when shooting bees busy buzzing blossoms on my lemon tree, which is in near full bloom. I also had the A74 but felt it didn't measure up and sold it. Should have picked up the A7R5 instead. The a6700 is the best little camera on the market, bar none.

Congratulations with the great camera and the subject matter to caprure. Such an adorable footage!
Thank you:)
Amazing, thanks for this. Love the way you combine the images with camera features/menu etc.
Great you like my Video:)
Awesome camera and shots!

@@anotherperspective3076 Thank you very much for your answer, I will listen to your advice!
Interesting video, kindly suggest third party telephoto zoom 600mm for a6700
A follow up 600mm Video will come soon;)

Hahaha that intro 😆
👌🖐
@@anotherperspective3076also congrats for catching lynx photos!
what macro lense would you suggest to pair up this beast with other than the 90mm?
I heard that there is a crop at 4K 120p. Could you please explain how 90mm becomes 450mm equivalent? So if I use 600mm will I get 3000mm equivalent?
Yes and no: apsc got 1.5 crop. But when filming at 4k120 it only Uses inner Pixels which is equivalent to 2.5x when you Film 4k you get a 5x crop when digitally zoom to 1080p Video.
@@anotherperspective3076Ok. How to digitally zoom to 1080p video from 4k video?
I read it overheats quickly. How long can you use it before it overheats? How does it do on damselflies & butterflies?
Insect Video coming... in spring:/
Heat might be a Problem. Outside it is no issue. I filmed macro inside under a 300w light... and got heat Issue after 1 Minute...
Hello thank you.happy new year.i love Sony.
Happy New year:)
Which lens do you think will be best ,with the a6700 as a general walk about lens for bug shots .
Thank you for such an amazing video presentation. I wish if you could suggest any good affordable lens for macro photography. I got a a6700, but I have only kit lens 18-135mm.

A7RV focuses just like the A6700
I think he said A7Riv.
