Vivitar Series 1 +1 +2 +4 +10 Close-Up Macro Filter Set w/Pouch (52mm)

They are inexpensive and well-made lenses for easily accessible macro photography. I’ve already used them on my Kodak Pixpro AZ528- though that is a bit redundant since the camera has a macro mode. They’re fun to mess around with, though. I plan to get a clip for my phone. All you need is a 52mm thread on pretty much anything and they’re largely compatible. The fit might be a bit awkward, so try to make sure you don’t wear down your threads if you’re taking them on and off frequently.

As the manufacturer suggests, these lenses work well for photographing flowers (when they bloom) and insects (when they smile). I have tested these close-up lenses with a Nikon AF-S DX Nikor 18-55 mm 1:3.5-5.6 G VR lens (the type supplied with many Nikon camera kits). This lens is fairly versatile, and it can focus to within approximately 6” of a subject even without close-up lens attachments. (Other cameras have lenses with 52mm threads which can accommodate these close-up lenses.) Setting the camera lens at its longest focal length (and greatest degree of magnification), with a +1 close-up lens a 2” subject will fill the camera viewfinder; with a +10 lens 1.5” subject will fill the viewfinder. The magnification with the other close-up lenses falls within these extremes. With a fixed focal length lens of normal focal length (circa 42mm) the degree of magnification with these close-up lenses will be slightly less. These close-up lenses can be used in combination for greater magnification, but any lens used in combination with the +10 lens must be attached to the back of the +10 lens. If you have been into photography for some time, especially in the pre-digital years, you may have a large collection of 35mm slides. Making digital copies of such slides confers many advantages. They can be leveled, and/or cropped, and their brightness, contrast, color, and sharpness can be modified. Thus, in some cases, the image on a digital copy may be a vast improvement over the original slide. And, being easily reproducible, multiple digital copies of an image can be assembled in separate groups relating to family, to travel, to art work, etc. Digital images can easily be shared with friends and family members. Various commercial slide copiers are available, varying widely in cost. But if you want a challenge, you can make a slide copy stand with which these lenses will work well. (See photographs.) I have copied slides with these lenses and find they give good results, with no loss of sharpness across the resulting digital images.

Seemed like they were well made but got the wrong size but they were goid price I'm returning for correct size

Using with a Nikon basic kit lens 18-55 plus a slide copying attachment to hold the film. They work extremely well for this. The image quality is great, their value compared to buying a macro lens is (price a new Nikon macro len)! Easy to use just screw in and the filters themselves their quality is fine. Been a professional since the 80's and a very pleasant surprise.

Awesome, cheap way to increase the magnification of my existing lenses. Easy to use amd the carrying case was great.

Edges are pretty darn distorted. Center is okay.

Amazing!!! Captured my baby jumping spiders beautifully!

Easy to use, with a handy pouch, these well-made lenses / filters are crystal clear and a great value. My test shots show the quality to be quite high.

Makes close up shots on the ace pro more visually appealing. Action cameras have hard time focusing on objects within certain ranges so this eliminates that problem.

buen producto, apenas empiezo en la macro foto, hice algunas pruebas y todo en orden, tal como marca la propaganda

GOOD

This is a good product from a reputable company. You do need an attachment adapter bought separately if you want to use it for the insta360 ace pro 2 , which is what i am using it for. Overall a great product.

These Close up Filter use only on Manual Mode .not auto mode ...
