    Vivitar Wrong item sent Fanta playes bate and switch games. I ordered a Digital Concept filter and was sent vivitar. The two filters are not the same. The 10x and 4x rims are to thin and the curved glass won't allow all at the same time to be attached. So you can't do experiments where you screw all 4 filter glass on your lens. Can only do +1 and +2 and ether +10 or +4 not all at the same time. This limits the product. Also the picture on the vivitar is misleading too. The picture shows wide rims yet they are narrow. The digital concept ones got the wide rims that allows for any sequence attachment. Have filed a claim with amazon. After filling a claim the seller promptly called me and explained that vivitar has bought out digital concepts and if one is out of stock the other product is sent. He explained to me that items are identical. I politely disagree. The two items are totally different in that the ring is narrow in vivitar version which prevents attachment of all four at the same time. He told me to call vivitar my self to have them send me the right item if possible. I called the number left a message. I am still disappointed since this is not worth the trouble. This is a 10 dollar item and I have to do all these extra actions to get the product I ordered and not be switched to item I did not want. I think amazon should pull the digital concept product if not available or at least warn people with email to give option of canceling the order if not digital concept. I changed the review to 3 stars since the seller made an effort to try to resolve issue. 3Wonderful Invention I had ordered my first digital DSL SLR camera in March, and was not happy with the "close up" lens. I wanted to get really up close and personal with flowers and insects, but could not achieve the effects I was looking for.Since I'm on a limited budget, I really could not afford the expensive macro lens available on the market, no matter where I could order from. When I found this set of lens, I was thrilled. I figured for no more than what they were charging, even if they did not work very well, I would not have lost much.Well, the set of lens arrived very quickly, and in excellent shape. There are several in there, the strongest being a 10 x lens. These are screwed onto your existing lens to turn it into more of a macro lens. Because it seems to be doing a really great job, especially for the price (less than 20 dollars, compared to a thousand or more for the "real" thing) I will probably never order the more expensive macro lens. I've not had much opportunity to truly use this set yet, but Florida is coming up for me in January and February, and I intend to get LOTS of photo time with this new accessory.It is easy to take along as it comes inside it's own case and is very thin. The main space it uses is the size of the lenses (size of each circle). They are very thin, and even screw onto the camera lens while the tulip hood is attached. AND, the lens cap screws onto that! Wonderful invention for the poor person with a rich person's taste! : I would order from them again. 5Nice! Uh huh, yep, good and fine. These are essentially plano-convex lenses set into aluminum 58mm filter rings. You can use each one separately or you can stack them all together. Best results IMHO are acheived if you use them on a lens with a fairly high focal length to get away from vignetting if you intend to stack them, but if you're using them as singles, then you probably won't have any problem with that. I am using mine on a Sigma 18mm - 50mm zoom lens that normally takes 67mm filters, so I have to use a step down ring for these macro lenses. Using even the highest power 10x lens as a single, at 18mm on the Sigma camera lens, I have no vignetting.These essentially work by knocking your focal distance way down, so you can move in much closer to your target. If you are trying to maintain some distance, then you'll have to use a long lens and stick to lower powers with the macro lenses. I don't yet have an adapter ring to use these on my Canon L 100mm - 400mm beast, but I am thinking that the combination will be just absolutely insane for serious macro work. I use lens reversal for extremely high power magnification in macro work, but what I like about these lenses is that it maintains full function of the lens for autofocus and aperture control, where lens reversal methods sacrifice all that. That said, this CANNOT beat lens reversal for sheer magnifying power. This will turn a ladybug into an easy National Geographic type beauty shot, leaf and bug and all, but it won't show you the dust on its wing covers like a lens reversal would. Still, for typical macro, this is great.And the best thing of all? That case, wow... NICE. I wasn't expecting that cool little wallet-like nylon filter case so I was really impressed by that. I'd love to have a couple more for all my loose filters. :-)Oh, one little thing. The threading seems a little bit too filddly to me, like they cut the threads and then painted them a bit too heavily. I'm sure it will work itself out fine with use, but the first uses need a little TLC.The photos attached are all with my Sigma 18mm - 50mm lens set at 50mm, shooting in autofocus under my kitchen fluorescents. For all photos, I stacked all of the macros together. 5Don't know why anyone would bother with the +1, +2, or +4, but the set's cheap enough... Some time ago, I had a 52mm +10 closeup I'd purchased from a local Wolf Camera. Was a great little filter to experiment with. I sold the camera and lenses/filters I had when I upgraded to a D80 w/ Nikon 18-200 lens, and never did find a 72mm +10 filter until I saw this set on Amazon. But I was hesitant due to the price. I paid $30 for the one 52mm +10 filter, and here are 4 filters, including a +10, for less than $15 total? Recently sold the 18-200mm lens, and got a couple Sigma lenses (18-50 and 70-300), and finally caved and added the 58mm versions of these filters. I figured as cheap as they were, even if they were pure crap, it wouldn't be a big loss.What I've found is the +10 in this set produces far less distortion at the edges than the one I got from Wolf. However, the image is very hazy. It's easily fixable with some contrast boost, so it's only a minor annoyance (and the reason I went with 4 instead of 5 stars).The best way to use these filters is to put them on your longest lens for maximum effect, set your lens to manual focus @ infinity, and get close to whatever your taking a picture of. REAL close. With the 70-300 @ 300mm and the +10 filter I can get within ~2 inches of my subject. Auto-focus will not work, don't even try. Instead, keep the lens at infinity, and physically move your lens closer or farther from the subject to bring it into focus. The depth of field is practically non-existent at this magnification, so make your movements very slow, and very shallow. Your pictures will also greatly benefit from a lot of light, ideally you'll use a ring flash, or set a slave flash to fire when you snap your shot. On-board flash may cause more problems than it's worth, and will likely produce a shadow from your lens. A hot-show flash will help some, but you really want the light pointing at your subject, and that's just too difficult when it's sitting back next to your face. 4Great when Used Correctly. 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. 5Excellent value when used properly I'm not as willing as I once was to cart around a million pounds of DSLR equipment. So most of the time I either have a Panasonic Lumix in my pocket or a carry a Canon SX20IS. The latter has become my "serious" camera when I travel by plane. I carry a small collection of accessories for it including an external flash and filters. My basic filter set is a UV filter primarily to protect the lens, an adjustable ND (Neutral Density) filter which is well worth the extra cost, a polarizer and now this very inexpensive set of close-up "lenses". I don't need these often and this set meets my needs when I do. The four lenses come in a fold-over case with a Velcro closure. The lenses are moderately well made and, as with anything you attach to a lens, you must be careful with the threads. I don' t think these threads will allow any margin for abuse. Each of the lenses provides a reasonably flat field with some corner distortion. Some chromatic aberration (fringing) is visible in some circumstances, but it isn't severe enough to be a showstopper. These close-up lenses are absolutely not a substitute for a Micro-Nikkor macro lens. But when you're traveling light with a reasonably good digital camera, keep your subject matter to central two-thirds of the image area, use a high enough shutter speed or tripod support, these inexpensive close-up lenses will do a pretty good job.Jerry 5Doesn't do what I'd hoped Okay, I have had more time to play. You can pretty much toss out what I had written before.I put the 10X lens on a 24-1000mm zoom lens of a Fuji HS50EXR. I take a lot of pictures with the camera in macro mode and the lens set at a moderately long focal length - taking pictures of butterflies from six feet away for instance. I had been hoping that I could take such pictures but with an even closer view to my subject; as in taking pictures of ladybugs from six feet away. Alas and alack, that was not to be. At the widest position (24mm), autofocus worked between 3 feet (1 m) and 1 inch (2.5 cm). I then turned on the camera's macro mode but could find NO change in the distances at which it would focus. At longer or shorter distances, the autofocus would give me an error. When I tried manual focus for subjects outside the 3 feet - 1 inch range, I found the focus got better and worse but that it could not be made sharp. And putting on any zoom beyond about 1.5x (36mm) made it impossible for the camera to focus manually or automatically. Finally, I took the closeup lens off and compared it to what I was able to get with the camera's own two macro modes. The camera's macro modes easily got me closer to the subject - got me to a smaller field of view - than did the closeup lens. And the less macro mode focuses to infinity.Glad that I wasted so little money. I should have read more of these reviews. These just do not seem to work with zoom lenses and seem to accomplish nothing if your camera already has a macro mode. My mistake. If you have a camera with a short, fixed focal length lens (like the 50 mm f/1.4 lens every 35mm camera used to come with) these things will probably work miracles. However, I bet the number of people taking pictures these days with lenses like that can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Probably why these lenses are so inexpensive. The box they came in was actually slightly yellowed with age.I did find that some of the female threading on the front of these fellows was a little rough. They all went on the camera neatly enough one-at-a-time, but I had some trouble stacking them.ADDENDUMI have since tried stacking the 10x and the 4x and adding the 2x to that. These combinations WILL get me closer than the lenses built in macro capability but at the price of some distortion in corners and a little loss of light. I have gotten some usable photographs that I would not have gotten without these things. So, not so much a waste at all. 3Can supply great results on the super cheap These filters are often maligned by many macro snobs, and indeed they are not the best solution to obtaining the closeups of your dreams. However, for a very small investment they can help you get some closeup macro-like (not true 1:1) shots that you just wouldn't otherwise achieve with your stock lens.Quick rundown on HOW to use these. Remove any existing filters (ie the UV filter that most everyone has). Attach closeup filters. If stacking, attach the largest number first and work downwards. You can attach all 4 if you like. Personally, I only use the +10 or +4 or both combined. Stacking the +2 and +1 doesn't seem to justify the loss in light and potential for aberrations for the relative small amount of magnification you receive. You can then put any color/UV filters at the end of the chain. **NOTE the stock UV filter that came with my Canon EOS does not correctly fit on top of these closeup filters, so I don't use it with them.Once the filters are attached, you cannot focus to infinity, and are limited to closeup shots. Focus can be tricky. Do not rely on automatic. If you have the luxury, I take about half my shots of one subject with automatic and half with manual and see which turn out better. For extreme closeup use manual.These have definitely made a difference in my closeups. Look at the jumping spider I posted in picture reviews...not bad for "not macro". I am next investing in some extension tubes, and hopefully this will hold me over until I feel like shelling out the big bucks on a high end macro. Good luck! 5Fantastic Results on the Cheap These lenses give absolutely amazing results for the price. You just screw them onto your lens and it magnifies the image - you have to get pretty close to it, but it allows you to focus much closer than the lens would normally. If you want to experiment with macro photography this is really the way to go.I tried extension tubes, but they create problems because they reduce the amount of light that gets to your camera - plus the auto focus doesn't work with them. I also thought about buying a cheap macro lens - but once again you sacrifice the auto focus - and even a cheap macro lens is much more expensive than these were.I'm sure there are some close up applications where one would really need/want the "real deal" but for most of us, these are more than adequate and you don't have to spend a fortune. 5Great for the price! This is a cheap little product that does what it says. I have another set of +1/+2/+4 filters I got a few years ago for a few bucks more, and they're nowhere as crisp as this set. These certainly aren't precision optics, but they're decent. The construction is fine; no problems screwing any of them onto a B+W UV filter (that cost 4x what this does and is really just there for smash protection), or directly onto the Canon 50mm f/1.4 I'm using it with. I'm using this on a 1.6x crop body, so I can't speak to how well it performs out near the edges.I'm already a fairly experienced amateur, but I haven't really done any macro photography, and I'm interested in playing around there some. This is a great way to try it out for almost nothing before possibly spending several hundred on a real macro lens if I feel like really getting into it. And if I don't, well, I have a nice little set of close-up filters if I have occasion to use them. They even include a better-than-expected case (though the case is a little bulky; I'll just stick a couple of these in my camera bag.)In short, you can't really go wrong with this, unless you're expecting it to perform like something several times the price. For $12, why not have it in your kit? 5
