The Heliopan 52mm Close-Up Lens +3is 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 52mm 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.

Convex lens design and +3 dioptric strength lessens the minimum focusing distance of any lens for close-up shooting.

Single coatings on both the front and rear offer protection to the glass and help to improve light transmission and image quality.

Brass filter ring helps to prevent jamming and provides additional strength.

Dual threading with 52mm front filter threads permits combining with other filters.

Q: 1. Will this fit a nikon 18-55 mm kit lens for the d3200?

A: Yes it will. To ensure if a filter will fit your lens look for the lens diameter written on the outside ring of the lens. The Nikon 18-55 mm has a diameter of 52 mm that matches this filter. Works very well. Enjoy!

Q: 2. Will this work on Nikon lens?

A: This will work on lenses with a 52mm-diameter front thread.

Q: 3. This will solve the field curvature of the CV 35 mm 1.7 on mirrorless cameras?

A: We are not sure of what lens you are asking about. Maybe the Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens (Black) B&H # VO3517K? Also we are unaware of a close up lens ameliorating lens aberrations. Indeed we only know of them introducing them. In order that we may further assist you, please write us sales@bhphoto.com.

Q: 4. What is magnification for this lens? I'm looking for x1.5 up to x3 (similar to Nikon 5T and 6T). Thank you

A: The Heliopan 82mm Close-Up +1 Lens has a single-element Convex design.

Q: 6. Would this work with the GoPro Hero 5 session and a 52mm filter thread adapter, or would I need a lens that can change focus distance?

A: Better on a lens that changes focus distance.

Q: 7. does this filter fit tamron 60mm lens?

A: No, the Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II 1:1 Macro Lens uses a 55mm filter. You can use the Heliopan 55mm Close-Up +3 Lens.

A: This is only one filter.

Q: 10. What is ES 77 No.3?

A: This is the strongest option for close-up shooting. This filter is essentially a very high quality diopter that allows a lens to focus closer then it would normally focus. A close-up filter is an alternative to using a focus tube which would also accomplish the same goal but with a bit more light loss.
