4 Stars 10x glass loose
great price and good delivery time (from super deal)
they delivered it one day before estimated delivery time!
as stated above, the glass on the 10x lens was very loose when i got it and although i probably wont be using that much, it was a bit disappointing.
the filter wallet isn’t the best quality. it looks like something you can get at the dollar store. it even has a cheap plasticky smell.
good for the price though.
5 Stars Go for it !!
First of all, what would you except from a 7 bucks lense..sorry 4 filters in 7 bucks ? dont expect a high macro lense..seeing at the price its a must have filter..there should not be any hesitation buying this item..check some of my pics uploaded here..+10 worked great..if not macro- it will certainly increase the DOF for close up shoots..image quality is also acceptable…dont think too much..just go for it..
4 Stars Hard to beat for the money if you want to do Macro
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
2 Stars Not really worth the buy
I don’t see a big boost using these close-up filters. The limitations to the close-up photography due to the camera’s minimum focus distance controls how close your can get to you subject for macro-photography. Using these is simply a means of telling yourself that you are doing macro- but unfortunately you are not getting anything significantly better than you would with just your camera. Best not to waste your money on this.
5 Stars Excellent Deal
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.
