CLOSE-UP LENS SET

APPLICATION: Very Small Object "Macro" Photography

A close-up lens, attached to the front of the camera lens, allows the camera to focus on the subject while maintaining a reasonable distance for lighting. Equally as important, a close-up lens allows the zoom function to magnify small objects. See application diagrams below.

Q: My camera has a macro focus lens, why should I use a close-up lens?

When shooting very small objects the "macro" function of many digital cameras reduces the focal length to inches or even a fraction of an inch. This causes a lighting problem because the camera lens is too close to the subject and blocks the subject light. In addition, when imaging in a tent with a front cover, the camera is positioned in the front of the tent while the subject is centered on the bottom inside the tent. This camera to subject distance is often too far for macro imaging.

Also, some digital cameras macro mode only works in the wide angle aspect of the lens, therefore limiting or prohibiting the magnification ability of the zoom.

Close-up lens set includes:

3 lenses with magnification factors +1, +2, +4 (can be combined)
Padded, divided storage case
Precision made in Japan by Kenko

These lenses fit the filter thread on the front of your camera lens. Please check your lens thread specifications prior to ordering. We sell adaptor rings as well.
