Customer Reviews

Great Alternative5
This is a great alternative for people with a digital SLR camera who want to take close-ups (Macro) of tiny things like insects and small flowers. I bought it instead of a telescoping Macro lens that costs over $1,000 and a ring light that costs over $1,000. In normal daylight I usually get good exposure but even slightly underexposed shots can be corrected with software. I have taken a couple of pictures in low light situations with my Canon Rebel XT with the flash turned to -2 with good results. Great compromise for under $50!! Even my wife was happy. Oh! The shipment was prompt also.

Buy a 2x teleconverter or extension rings instead.2
Don't be cheap if you want good macro close up shots.
This kind of product does what it says but at the cost of DOF, color clarity and over all lighting.
If you use all three rings combined you get a very misty and ghost like image. The edges of which look like the effect you see on old camera black and white shots, where the outside edges of the shot fade into white.
DOF? almost null. This is expected on Macro shots, but not as accentuated as what you get with these close up filters.

very nice optical close-up set4
I've been using these diopters to take close up photos, and I've used them atop a 10x macro lens for very close details. There seems to be no distortion, and the photos and filled with detail, though you may want to consider using a tri-pod when you can. Nice set, though the deal I had was without the lens cap, and so, I can't comment on that.
