Customer Reviews

Very high quality item, but not what I needed4
I bought this item as a cheap way of exploring the world of close-up (i.e., "near-macro range") photography with a digital SLR. I cannot comment on how the product works with one of the many compatible Canon P&S cameras. It is a high-quality, well constructed piece of optics, perhaps a bit pricey for what it is, but it appears to definitely fill a need. For me, it wasn't what I needed, and so I sent it back. I did do some homework before purchasing, but should have taken it to heart when I read other reviews stating that it really doesn't allow you to get close enough to explore digital SLR close-up photography, at least not when used alone on a non-macro lens. The difference between what I could capture with this close-up lens on my 35mm f/2 or 50mm lens, versus what the lens could do on its own, was pretty minimal to non-existent, from what I could tell. I think this close-up lens might work better for the A series cameras, or perhaps in conjunction with other close-up lenses and/or other tricks of the macro photography trade. I'm giving the item 4 stars because of its high quality construction and also because it apparently does do what it promises to do. It just didn't fit my needs, and that is why I was glad I purchased it from Amazon. I went on to buy a dedicated macro lens, which I LOVE!! It stays on my camera nearly all the time.

Great addition5
The lens is a great addition to my camera as I plan on doing lots of closeup work this summer and I need a small camera for that task.

Works great with my Canon A95 camera5
I bought this to take pictures of small artificial flies (sizes 18-20). The pictures came out great.
One can see all the details of the flies.
