How to attach a 300mm macro lens to a JVC GZ-HD30 or GZ-HD40 camcorder

How to attach a 300mm macro lens to a JVC GZ-HD30 or GZ-HD40 camcorder Video Clips. Duration : 1.50 Mins.


I needed to get closer to the action for some clear macro shots. So I bought one 43-52mm step up filter ring, then one 52mm-42mm step down filter ring(you need both rings or the gap is too small between camera and lens) and a 300mm prime m42 thread macro lens. All m42 thread lenses now fit my camcorder(although the lens aperture is wide open with this lens) and the videos are amazing. You end up with super close macro that is shot from twelve inches away and so does not disturb anything you are filming. (This video was shot with a lumix fx-33)
