    This may be slightly off topic, but I know the AE forum will have the answers.

    When you see extreme closeups (such as when an eye fills the entire screen), is there a special lens adapter to do those shots or is it just using the camera’s macro-focus?

    Hi,

    There are plenty of options. I used almost all of them during my career and found the “Skater Scope” & HD Scope Multi-Directional 2/3” HD Lens System do the best job.

    -Otherwise you could use a “Bellow” like in typical macro photography.

    -A reversing ring to reverse your optic and mount it on your camera.

    -Closeup lenses that you add to the front of your lens.

    -Mounting another lens reversed in front of your lens using an adapter (Macro coupler.

    Salut,
    Serge
