The Heliopan Bay 60 Close-Up +3 Lens for Enhanced Photographyis a convex diopter designed to decrease the minimum focus distance of any lens in order to produce a shorter working distance for close-up photography. Available in varying strengths, close-up lenses also feature Bay 60 front filter threads for combining two or more filters to fine-tune results.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Do note that the above are fully manual extension tubes, as there are no electronic contacts on the lens to transmit electronic information from the lens to the camera. As such, you will have to focus manually, as well as set your exposure manually. You also would not be able to control the aperture of the lens, so you will have to use the camera in either A (Aperture Priority) or M (Manual) mode.
