Key Features
IMPROVE CLOSE FOCUS CAPABILITY OF ANY LENS – Kit includes 3 Macro Filter Dipoters +1, +2 & +4. Each filter allows you to focus closer to your subject at differing degrees of magnification. Producing very sharp images with crisp clarity. Compatible with most camera lenses that accept screw-in filters.
TRANSFORM YOUR ZOOM INTO A MACRO POWERHOUSE – Instantly convert your standard or zoom lens into a macro-capable tool using this close-up lens set. Perfect capturing stunning pictures and video of flora, insects, wedding rings and other small objects with creative precision.
TURN YOUR ANAMORPHIC LENS INTO A CLOSE-FOCUS BEAST – Anamorphic video lenses, by design, are inherently bad at focusing close to your subject. Diopters are the cinematographers best kept secret at capturing tightly framed close-ups of faces and environmental details while maintaining that wide lens perspective.
STACK MULTIPLE FILTERS FOR A EXTREME MACRO LOOK – Each filter has front filter threads allowing photographers to stack the filters on top of one another. Combine the +1 and +2 to achieve a +3 or Combine a + 2 and +4 for a combined +6 diopter effect. A visual vignette may occur depending on how wide the original lens is but that can increase the overall creative look of the final image.
COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT, AND TRAVEL-READY DESIGN – The kit includes a travel ready filter wallet that keeps your filters well protected when you travel. The compact, folding, design ensures you always have them with you so you never miss that magic photographic moment

👎 Cons
- Stacking multiple filters may introduce a visual vignette, especially on wider original lenses.
