very nice optical close-up set [Posted on 2007-10-30] 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.
Good product [Posted on 2008-05-15] the product gives what it promises... only problem i found is that u have to get extra close to the subject to take the picture.. so this would be problematic for insects and live close-ups.. but for plant and coins it is fine. its hard to take pics when there is not enough light as there will be a cast shadow most of the time from the size of the lens so you have to find the perfect angle to shoot at.
Great product [Posted on 2008-06-28] Great product for those wanting to experiment with macro photography but don't necessarily have the cash to put down on a dedicated lens!
Buy a 2x teleconverter or extension rings instead. [Posted on 2008-07-01] 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.
Good product !!! [Posted on 2008-07-27] I had very good results with this product, the lens cap isn't unusefull, but in the future can be.
The case is too hard to close and can damage the lens inside surface...
