Diving in Aunt Zhang for many years, looking at other people buying, buying, and buying, although they are also tickling code words, but there is nothing for everyone to show. Or is it something that can't be taken, or else it is all over the place.
This time finally started with a suitable product - Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM
I have one piece of IT silk and I love photography for many years. In 2005, with its own first digital camera, the Kodak DX7590, in 2007, with its first SLR, the Canon EOS 400D, it was almost ten years away. Since then, he has embarked on the SLR.
The first charred section, because of the poor, can only fit into the horse's head, has entered the super wide-angle 10-20mm, telephoto 70-300mm (itself has a Sigma 18-50mm mark change) and then burn color (all that is hateful suitable horse yellow The trouble is to replace Sigma's 70-300 with Canon's EF-s 55-250mm. There are two reasons for this: 1. The lack of a 50-70 focal length is awkward. 2, Sigma 70-300 is not anti-shake, telephoto no anti-shake is really egg pain.
Then I burned the ring, before the basic is F4, because of the poor thing (in fact, before there really is a large aperture lens - 50 1.8, see it really poor, haha), looked at people's large aperture works, really good-looking, teeth A bite, a heart, into an APS mirror King - EF-s 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM, and finally have a satisfactory lens in all aspects. The large aperture lens later also entered an 85 1.8.
Then the light is burned. Photography is the art of light and shadow. Natural light is of course a very important light source. However, artificial light sources can create more artistic effects, so they have entered the Canon 430II light.
Continue, began to pay attention to the atmosphere, this can be fate, can talk about the atmosphere are fixed red circle (see it, I am an authentic Canon brain powder). So in 2012, entered the 5D Mark II kit and 35 1.4. The red circle focus really deserved reputation, but also the first full frame.
Then, in order to make up for the loss of pit property for many years, you have to go back to the original script. Then you enter the wedding photography industry. Later, in order to use the fixed focus, you enter the 6D and feel much stronger than the 5D II. Taking a wedding is also very exercise. Basically, it is a dynamic shooting, and there are pressures to make films. It is also necessary to take more shots.
Pulling away, getting back to business, the Canon micro-single EOS-M was introduced in 2013. The big machine was bored, and with children, it needed a portable small machine. It continued to buy Canon because all the lenses could be used.
The following figure is the EOS-M+18-55 head:
The biggest problem with the EOS-M is focusing. It's really hard to shoot kids, so basically it's idle.
In May this year, Canon suddenly released a macro lens of the EF-M. Although there were also EF-M lenses released before, I never felt a cold. This macro shot made up for the micro pit that I hadn't filled in. It had been a hundred times, but because of its limited use, it was not purchased. A look at this EF-M's macro, dual IS, 1.2 times magnification, even integrated flash, all aspects meet my needs, the price of 2000 or so, but also make do with it. It waited for the listing in June (officially announced time to market).
Wait until the end of June, first asked several familiar lens dealers, and the answer was how to get listed in July. Jingdong's self-employed had not seen EF-M lens ever sold, and there were no EF-M lenses for several franchised photographic equipment websites. Sell. Can only see Ma Yun home. At the end of June, there was Taobao’s Japanese purchasing service, but the delivery time was basically July. After waiting a few days, finally the Tmall had a store opened for sale. After a search, it was still a Canon-certified dealer and immediately placed orders. !
SF is fast! The next day, the time given by the business was 2 days. This was a pleasant surprise.
In order to verify the authenticity, Canon's verification app was installed and the tags on the box were scanned.
Oops! No response, no response for a long time. It will not be the first time that Tmall will purchase the lens. . . . . . ?
Can't wait, first look inside things. In order not to destroy the sealed electronic tag, I actually used this method to open the box.
Later, it was discovered that the failure of the APP scan was because the metal wire in the sealed electronic tag had been broken.
Finally see the real thing!
You need to toggle this button and then rotate to get to the shooting position, otherwise the camera will prompt you to not shoot.
Can rotate two gears, one file is normal shooting, you can focus at infinity, but the maximum magnification is only 1, the second-stage magnification can reach 1.2, but can not focus at infinity. In the shooting position, the endoscopic barrel will stick out, so it is said that this is actually designed to be convenient for carrying when carrying.
The front-end flash is actually not a flash. It should be called a light because it can only be on.
Flash control button, there are two brightness, can be left light, can be right light, or both together.
Focus ring, because this lens is STM, so must open MF or AF + MF in the camera, focus ring can work.
The ass was not metal, but I didn't care much about it. The picture quality was good and the performance was good. I wouldn't call it every day.
The front end of the barrel has a chamfer, which is more convenient to take objects in a right angle environment and can be closer.
The hood is directly mounted on the front end of the barrel of the inner mirror, and is screwed on. It feels that in addition to preventing the front lens from colliding, the effect of shading is not great, and even when close-up, external light is blocked from illuminating the object. Also, it will block the flash that comes with the lens. Again, because it is directly screwed on the barrel, the filter needs to be screwed on the outside of the hood, 43mm diameter.
The look on the lens to the body
Preliminary test shot
Test shot feelings:
1, double anti-shake effect is good, the macro lens because the magnification is large, so the slight jitter in the imaging sensor on the amplitude of the jitter will be large, resulting in the picture sent virtual. This lens basically did not let me worry about the jitters. Unless the light conditions are too poor, no false appearances have been found. It is said that the double anti-shake technology used is a technology used in the L-class lens, which can increase the 3.5-level shutter.
2, focusing mode, I have manual focus, auto focus is not control where to go, macro lens depth of field is so thin. The focusing process is quiet and smooth. This lens is the post-focus, that is, the front mirror group does not move when focusing (if the foreground group is moving, the macro shot is enough to hate), the rear mirror group in the mirror barrel moves to complete the focusing.
3, quality: I am not deep in this study, bad evaluation, anyway, I can see the past.
4, the closest focusing distance: 93mm, counting from the focal plane. Basically 5mm away from the front lens will be able to face, do not worry about not on the coke. However, because the depth of field is related to the focusing distance, the closer the focusing distance is, the thinner the depth of field is. Therefore, the actual shooting will not be so close, and the depth of field is too thin.
5, Jiao outside the blur: a bit stiff, but the formation of a circular aperture is still very beautiful.
6, do ordinary standard lens use: This lens EOS-M on the equivalent focal length is 45mm, also considered a standard fixed-focus lens, but unfortunately the aperture is small, but daily shooting is also good, there is a double image stabilization it .
7, on the weight: EF-M lens has always been relatively light, this lens and the flange with plastic materials, it is reduced weight, there will not be too much burden.
8, the lens can be in close proximity, but the camera and the lens itself is a problem of light shielding, so lighting is a knowledge, comes with a flash is a good solution, the light effect is also a style, But not natural enough. To shoot with natural light, the camera can be farther away and crop the picture after shooting.
Such a good lens, light filming some test machine is also too careless, had to design and design (level is limited, welcome to Paizhuan!)
Look at the finished product first (the day of the party was the birthday of the party):
Look at the shooting environment:
The two main use of backlighting is to create a feeling.
Then on a finished product:
Shooting environment:
This is an error in our 3D printers. Abandoned works are a mess.
The macro lens can take a very narrow part, so the observation method is not the same as other lenses, and you need to feel the beauty of details. From a bunch of complicated scenes, cut out a beautiful part. The above leaves also have this idea.
The set of scenery and lights needed to take macros can be quite a few. First, I bought several small spotlights at Ikea.
Later, Taobao also bought studios, background boards, reflectors, linens, background cloth holders, etc. The above photos were basically completed using these auxiliary equipment.
Small Studio - Product Shooting Tool
Background cloth, in fact PVC material, wear-resistant, disadvantages: reflective
Burlap, can create a good atmosphere of literature and art
I hope this article will help people who like the Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM.
