It wasn't soon after getting my 50mm prime lens that I felt that I would like to take closeups of tiny things. For instance my son's tiny lego thingies... or flowers, insects etc. How do I do that? This lens wouldn't focus after a point. So after watching several related videos on macro and micro photography I started looking for extension tubes or other lens attachments which come in cheaper than getting a new lens altogther. I new lens would only make sense if I wanted to get into it professionally, which I don't as of now. I just want to get pretty pictures of life happening around me. So I got myself a Polaroid 4-piece close up camera lens filter kit from Amazon.
Although my estimated delivery was in 3-4 weeks, I received the package in the second week only. I was so thrilled that I had to try it immediately. The box (shown above) contains a wallet (shown below) with 4 filters.
There is one each of +1, +2, +4, and +10 filters packaged neatly in individual packets put in four net pockets of the wallet.
Here is a close-up of one filter.
These screw on easily on my 50mm lens which has a 58mm thread.
I tried taking a few pictures with the +4 lens... since I was doing it indoors and I didn't have any additional lighting.
The first try didn't focus properly... see below, the centre is out of focus
So I switched the lens to manual focus.
Much better results.
And just to compare between shots of naked lens and lens with +4 filter. I also switched back the lens to AF (auto focus) and this time it worked nicely.
so in summary. These are really good filters which gave me value for money.
