A review of the Pergear 60mm f/2.8 Mark II, a relatively affordable and solidly built lens for people looking to dabble in macro photography.
My friend Dennis will participate in taking test pictures and writing his impressions; he isI went out to the backyard with the Pergear 60mm Macro lens mounted on the camera. Most of the flowers faded, but there were still a few. I took a series of shots of the spirea flowers. Manual focusing with no focusing aid, stiff focusing ring, and the gentle breeze resulted in a series of photos I will refrain from sharing.
I have a sturdy tripod and a good ball head. But the focusing rail helped less than I expected. Although it allows setting the focus to 1:1 and then moving the camera back and forth, it sounds easier than done! Among the photographs is a penny on the table that sat at a slight angle to the camera. I photographed it at different f-stops to show the change in the depth of field, albeit a tiny amount. That is even more visible in the watch mechanism Dennis photographed at different apertures. The focus was set on the brass gear in the middle, and the rest of the innards came into focus at smaller apertures.
I continued the flower photography experiments the next day but from a little greater distance. Still close-up but not life-size. That was a tad easier. I even attempted a rudimentary focus stacking and macro panoramic stitching.The focusing and aperture rings are far too stiff and difficult to use.
