While out taking photographs, having been caught without my macro lens (along with other lenses it makes the camera bag rather heavy), I decided to but this to carry in my camera bag for the rare occasions when out shooting that I would need a close-up lens.I did not have great expectations for such a lens, but in fact I am quite impressed. I took a few test shots to compare it with the macro lens. The lens with which I compared it is the Canon Macro EF 100mm 1:2.8 USM; the lens to which I attached the close-up lens being the standard Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 II that comes with the Canon 400D.The biggest noticeable difference was the depth of field. The close-up lens has a very shallow depth of field compared to the Macro lens.

I'd owned a Nikon 55-200 VR lens for a while, and occasionally pointed it at the odd bug. I didn't spend my life crawling through the long grass, so couldn't justify buying a genuine macro, and I didn't fancy lugging one around either. But I did want to get a bit closer. You might feel the same way.I tried a number of single lens close-up filters, but the images had terrible colour fringing and distortion. Then I tried this 2 element filter, and the results are pretty good, though obviously inferior to anything you'd get with a real macro. The images are free of colour fringing and distortion, and reasonably sharp, though the very narrow depth of field makes it tricky to get a good image.

Video cameras are not known for their shallow depth of field (DoF). To achieve this usually requires an expensive 35 mm adaptor in order to create that elusive "filmic" look. Such systems are heavy, require rods for support and reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor(s), not to mention the time taken to set up the adaptor. My search for a cheaper and more effective alternative ended today when I received this superb Canon close-up lens that attaches to the integrated "L" series lens on my Canon XHA1 HD video camera. It produces a shallow but very usable DoF, the extent of which is determined by both the aperture setting and the level of zoom. As an added bonus,

This is a screw-on supplementary lens that can enable your telephoto lens to take macro shots when mounted as a filter. It has most effect on long focal-length lenses. I have had one for several years and have used it with good effect on a 75-300mm zoom lens and on a Powershot Pro1 28-200 mm camera.The optical quality of the 500D is excellent due to its doublet construction. Its working distance is up to around 50cm, so it can be used for butterflies if they are busy feeding. The highest magnifications available on a full-frame camera are 0.9x (nearly life-size) on a 300mm lens and 0.5x on a 200mm lens. The lens has to be removed to resume photography at normal distances.

I have been used to a point and shoot camera until recently that would focus down to I cm and did a brilliant job too. Now however I have bought a Fuji X-E1 with the 18-55 lens which give me wonderful resultsI have been looking at the Fuji macro lens but decided, at present, against buying it. I have heard good opinions on the Cannon 250D and the Cannon 500D so went for both of them instead. They give excellent results and I am very pleased. However even if I use both together the closest my lens will achieve is 9cm focusing from the subject. But does give excellent results.

What a beautiful piece of glass. I have used those cheapy close-up filter things before and they don't even come close to this. Images are tack sharp with absolutely no fuzziness at the edges. Wish I had bought this in the first place. If someone wants to get almost macro for a fraction of the cost of a true macro lens, then this is the way to go.

I purchased this to go with my Nikon lens as I read reviews that put this as one of the better ones. I have tried it out a few times and even though its not as good as a true macro lens its great for putting in your pocket when traveling light and the close- up quality is very good.

I bought this from Amazon and mounted on 18-55 EF-S lens to use with Canon 500D DSLR. Close up pictures are pretty stunning and I am really impressed. It added real value to the camera and also to my pleasure of doing photography as a hobby.Well worth it.

There are no problems with this simple lens attachment as far as I can see. The view through the lens with attachment in place looks good but \i have yet to use it in the field.

A higher price than standard close-up lens but eliminates distortion due to dual glass layers. Essential for enthusiastic close-up photographers

Good close up lens with zoom lens for starting macro..I recommend it with max 300 mm lens not over and a good zoom lens..

Ideal for me as I am thinking about getting a macro lens. This is sharp and light weight. Ideal for my lead into macro.

This works well on the FZ200. A quality product that is giving me good macro results at a very reasonable price.
