DESCRIPTION

Have you ever wished that your lens could focus closer than it does? Imagine that you could put a magnifying glass in front of your cameras lens. Close-up lenses are the simplest and least expensive method of achieving close-up photography. Tiffen close-up lenses are optical magnifying lenses which shorten the close-focusing capability of your lens. They are available in different "powers" (diopters). A +1 close-up lens will allow you to focus your lens somewhat closer than it already does. A +2 close-up lens will allow you to focus closer than the +1. A +3 lens will allow you to focus even closer than a +2, and so on. These lenses can be used individually or in any combination to achieve ultra-close focus. For example, a +1 combined with a +2 will equal a +3, while a +2 combined with a +3 will equal a +5, etc. 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.
