5 out of 5 stars Gives some extra abilities   July 7, 2010

makes a standard lens a bit more versatile. Helps in a pinch and has high quality optics.


4 out of 5 stars Adequate Filters   July 5, 2010

Certainly the "poor mans'" macro lenses. The filters are average quality, but you can get very close to your subject for great effect. Focusing is primarly by moving the camera closer or farther to bring the subject into focus. For the money, not a bad product.


4 out of 5 stars A fine product   July 3, 2010

This product is fine in terms of optical quality. I'm certainly no professional, however, so this review should be taken with a grain of salt by those who are very familiar with cameras and are "prosumer" types.

I've noticed no distortion, discoloration, blurring, etc., with images, and it's great for macro. I can get amazingly close and these lenses give me an amazingly shallow depth of field (which is good... for me at least).

The only minor gripe I have with this product is that after less than a month of a use, some of the black paint is starting to fade/chip, leaving me with glimpses of silver (not good for a camera: causes reflections and unwanted light in the photograph).



3 out of 5 stars For less than $15 you can get real close! But the glass they used is cheap!   June 11, 2010

I will talk about the product and not the seller I purchased from.

Yes, this is a "macro" filter attachment that will allow you to get closer to your subject.
You can use auto focus but you will limit yourself to the amount of magnification that you can use to get as close to the subject as possible. Manual focus will allow you to get super close. I mean so close that is you are using a built in flash you will get a shadow from the camera lens. (thats how close you will be able to get)

These work great. They do drastically change depth of field so take that into account when you are first trying them out.

I am having an issue using some of my filters with it. The threads dont match up very well so I cant use my UV or polarizer because I dont want to cross-thread them. Also, I had to spend a lot of time when these arrived. They were dirty and two of them had some weird black goo on them.

Overall for the money, (I changed this)if you are looking for this item, you might want to pay a little more for better glass.

Update to my original review. This is cheap cheap cheap glass! While changing my 10X it fell 2 inches onto my cameras remote that was sitting on my bed. The glass is chipping, and continuing to chip. I cant use it anymore because I do not want to spread glass chips into my lens. Shop around and you might want to think about going with another manufacturer.



5 out of 5 stars Great product for price, does take practise   June 10, 2010

I have Canon Powershot sx10 with Lensmate filter adapter. i ordered these lens/filters and they work great. i did have to go and play with them to learn how to use them. the depth of field is short, but really nice pictures. Quality was excellent for price as well, believe they are glass, seem too heavy for plastic. Can't wait to see what more pictures I can take.
