 "Bought 'em, Love 'em!" 2009-09-18
By JWT (Utah USA)
I'm planning on getting a 100mm Macro lens for my Sony DSLR, except, it's quite pricey. I then found out about these Macro filters and decided to buy them for in the meantime till I can buy the Macro lens. Not only that, once I do get the 100mm macro lens, these will also screw on to it, making it much better.



These do the job pretty well!

 "Macro lens for my Sony a300" 2009-06-29
By Leigh (McComb, MS)
Iappreciate it when the seller fulfills his obligation to send an order on time and the product is as the catalog or ad describes it. I am well pleased with the four macro lenses that I ordered through Amazon.

 "amazing!" 2009-03-23
By G. Schienbein (AB Canada)
I searched for these after I saw them reccommended in a digital photogrpahy book. The author reccommended them as a fantastic money saver. He was right! I've taken some amazing macro shots with them since! Even one where you can see my reflection on the tip of a fine point, ball point pen.

Hundreds of dollars cheaper than buying lenses and still highly effective!!

 "I ordered the wrong size!" 2009-01-18
By Blair Phillip Landry
I can't say if this product is good or not, because I ordered a 55mm and my lens are 52mm and 58mm. However, the shipping was good. My advice: check the diameter before ordering.

 "Excellent Deal" 2009-09-28
By Mohammed Ehfaj Khan (Chicago, IL USA)
I got shipped before estimated delivery schedule.

These work great with my D40 using 18-55mm. Specially +10 Lense. I guess I rare use others (i.e. +1, +2 & +4)



Anyways this is awesome at this price. I am much satisfied what I expected.

 "Hard to beat for the money if you want to do Macro" 2009-09-21
By S. J. Anderson (Orlando, FL USA)
If you don't have a dedicated macro lens, or something like a 70-300mm lens with a macro mode, this is an awfully tempting deal. And for less then $10, it really is a good deal. The quality of the glass is more than adequate, and they do exactly what they are intended. The only problem I encountered was that my lens' autofocus would generally not work with the +10 macro filter. However, if setting up macro shots, you should have no problem manually focusing by hand. The case the filters was shipped in was also not of great quality, and could see it scratching the glass if they had not been individually wrapped in plastic beforehand. This is a non-issue for me, as I have dedicated filter wallets, but for someone who will be using this to carry these around, use caution.



PROS:

+ Good quality glass filters

+ Great deal for macro photography



CONS:

- It's still not as good as a macro lens

- Included filter wallet is sub-standard

 "A satisfied consumer" 2009-09-03
By Jerry W. Robertson (Mobile, Al. USA)
I am very pleased with my recent purchase of Digital Concepts close-up Macro Filter Set. Still learning the skills to properly use them to thier full potential but have already had some great results. The price was really great compared to all others I looked at. I would highly recommend this set to anyone who would like to enter the world of very close or macro photos. I'm sure there are better , more expensive products out there, but for a novice you can't beat it! I keep it in my camera bag at all times just to be prepared! A small tripod is highly recommended for these although handheld shots are still possible. I am thouroughly enjoying my set. Jerry Robertson

 "Well worth the price" 2009-08-27
By jlo88pianokeys (Michigan, USA)
This set is well worth the price. I found myself constantly wishing to get more up-close when I was photographing flowers, but my Nikon D40 was unable to focus when I was that close to the object. Being a poor college student, I certainly do not have the money to invest in macro lenses, so this set was a great alternative. I can now get some of those up-close shots that I was itching to get. These filters are so fun to play with!



I have no complaints, other than that the pouch is a little disappointing, as others have stated in previous reviews. The nylon net pockets inside of the pouch are rather cheap, and almost seem like they could scratch the glass of the filters, so I store each filter inside a plastic wrap pouch before slipping them into the pockets.

 "Great diopters" 2009-07-15
By Christopher Beaugrand (San Mateo, CA United States)
I used to have a set of diopter lenses and they enabled me to take great photos of flowers - one of my favorite subjects. I have no idea why I went so long before buying a new set once I went digital, but it has been about 10 years since I used my previous set.



These lenses are great. They come in a very handy pouch, which makes storing and carrying them around very easy without worrying about damage. The quality seems great. I've gotten some excellent super-close-up flower shots again with the +10, and the +1 is great for giving me very very narrow depth of field in photos of objects a foot or two away.



These are absolutely worth the money - I'm very happy with them.

 "Great Value" 2009-08-13
By Amber Estrella (issaquah, wa)
These are a great buy. You can't beat the price for added flexibility. They attach easily and do their job (magnifying the image) really well.



Couple of things to mention- one is that of course, once these are attached to the lens one has to use manual focus. That could be a problem for folks trying to shoot things that move quickly. Additionally, the DOF narrows significantly with the stronger magnifications. This could be a problem if you're shooting insects. Neither of these issues have to do with this manufacturer nor the vendor, but rather limitations of the product itself.



For me though, these diopters work extremely well for my purposes (artistic, abstract photography and flower macros.) I find the functionality to be excellent. My only complaint, and considering what I got for the price, it's a small complaint, is about the packaging. Personally, I would prefer a case with non-scratch surfaces, but the folding, wallet design is a good one. All in all, an excellent product and a great value for the money.

 "Great when Used Correctly." 2009-08-04
By Vichiousfishes
I see that in the negative ratings here the people simply misunderstood what these are for. They are to move your camera in CLOSER to the subject and simulate a macro lens. What they do is essentially act as a magnifying glass. And like one, you need to move it in and out till you find the appropriate distance for it to work properly. This is not a tele-converter.



I find they work quite well. I have had macro lenses in which the subject takes up the sensor, a 1:1 ratio. These however allow for the subject to assault the sensor. Instead of life size these make for race of super giant monster sized. Ultra macro can be achieved with the small expenditure of fifteen bucks.



I find there is no outstanding vignetting or aberrations. At the highest magnifications there is an extremely shallow depth of field, so be sure you are prepared to work with that if you plan on working in those types of magnification.



Overall a great product, and with macro lenses starting at $500, I encourage you to sacrifice just a little of that macro lens fund to just give these a try and see if you can't go spend that extra money saved up on a hot date, camera geek.

 "Good in Theory - Can't Focus Through These AT ALL." 2009-07-05
By L. Bekerman (SE, Michigan)
I purchased these to try and extend the focus on my zoom lens ... all I extended in reality was a headache. The 2x was not completely impossible to work with, but anything higher ... very out of focus and blurry. Save your money for a nicer lens instead.

 "Love them." 2009-06-14
By Shasta Blevins
Wish that I could find these from the canon products, but these worked great. I can get so much more detail with flowers, bugs, etc. Enjoy them. The packet is great and compact about the size of a check book and easily accessable when needed.

 "great deal, great quality photos" 2009-05-28
