[+10] The macro close up lens is what I needed to help get more close up pictures that I wanted to capture.

[Single Coated] This filter does what it promises and it does not alter really the quality of the pic as far as I can tell. I do not own a macro lens so I don't know how different it is to use them, but I can tell you that I don't feel the need to own a macro lens with this filter at hand :) On the downside it is really hard to use AF...

[Single Coated] This is a great accessory to any camera bag. I like the way it works with our Nikon D3400. Takes a great picture every time. I would recommend it.

[Single Coated] extreme macro

[Brass] The quality of B&W has always been superb. This is perfect if you do not have a macro lens in your bag or want to occasionally take some macro shots. The price is right and an excellent buy.

[Single Coated] I use this on models, weapons, and other hobbies. I need the fine detail to relate problems, work I accomplished, and fine detail on projects to record. The transition is fast. It attaches with precision and feels professionally built. The clarity is great.

[Single Coated] If you want to learn the demands and skills of macro photography and don't want to invest in a $1000 macro lens, this is the lens for you. It is demanding; you can't be in a hurry and should use a tripod or at least a monopod or know how to stop breathing and stop your heart from beating for 10-15 seconds at a time! I end up focusing on my subject by moving closer or farther away. If the subject is moving you will get focused images if you are lucky. I've used the macro lens by Nikon for years. This lens and the +5 (which is a bit easier to use because you don't have to get as close to your subject and the surface it grabs for focus is larger) is sharp, clear, bright...the things you want it to be...and relative to the macro lens, very inexpensive. If you are new to macro photography this is the place to start. But you'll have to be patient. Don't get this lens used as it can be easily scratched; it requires a push up cover to protect it because it's concave, like a fisheye lens. I don't know if an IR filter is made or polarizer that will fit it. I've put it on my Nikon SLR FX 50mm f/1.4 lens, which I use for portraiture, and given me a new lens entirely. I can get within 4-5 inches of my subject. If it's a snake not so good idea; but everything that can't harm me, being able to get that close is advantageous.

[Brass] The lens was packaged very well received the product earlier than I expected. The price was great and great service, Nice job B & H. Cheers.

[Brass] great purchase, excellent optics. the threading with the main lens is smooth and precise, no stacking. there are no shaded areas towards the edges, we do not see considerable degradation. we suggest the use of a tripod, it allows focus at less distance than the one allowed by the lens In use. If you’re used to working with standard focusing distances, this may feel alien at first!
