The 52mm Close-up +2 Lens is a close-up diopter
lens which allows you to decrease the minimum focus distance on any
lens, in turn increasing the effective maximum reproduction ratio of your lens. Additionally, you can combine close-up lenses to
increase their strength and to fine tune your close-up settings.
The
+2 diopters of this close-up lens focus at a distance of 50cm (1.6')
with the lens focused at infinity. For the normal lens it is a stepless
extension of its close-up range to approximately 1:4.5. On short to
medium telephoto lenses it extends the NL1 close-up range seamlessly
(with an 85mm lens to approx. 1:3.5 and with a 135mm lens to approx.
1:2.5).
- This filter decreases the minimum focus distance of any lens, providing macro-like results.
- The maximum magnification achieved with these attachments will depend on the focal length of your lens as well as the actual close focusing capability of that particular lens
