Video shot with a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder and 35 year old set of close-up lenses from Vivitar. Video was shot with the 1080-30p mode, edited in Avid Media Composer, and converted to 720p with Sorenson Squeeze. Music selections are royalty free StackTraxx from DigitalJuice.
This video was made to explore close-up capabilities for the HV30.

    Love it!
    What aperture did you use to get the desired depth of field? I think the smallest available on the HV30 is f/8 right?

    Thanks for sharing,
    Vince

    f/8 is the smallest aperature that can be set. The HV30 was actually set at 1/30th second for most of the shots.

    what adapter did you use for your lens?
  • Robert Petersen 1 year ago
    General Brand 43-52mm STEP-UP RING - GBSUR4352 was used to attach old 52mm close-up lenses. I purchased it from B&H.

    Some really good shots there man. I'd have difficulty getting close up to some of that lot.
    Being scared of bugs, your movie worked!

    Is there an affordable close up lens for a Z5?

    B & H (bhphotovideo.com) has a couple of sets, I'm considering the 3 piece 72mm set from Hoya
    (MFR #B72CUS • B&H #HOCUS72).
    They also have a set from Tiffen
    (Mfr# 72CUS B&H# TICUS72).
