Macro lens Walimex 17855

The Walimex 17855 Macro Lens set is designed for close-up photography and provides clear, detailed results for subjects such as insects, flowers and coins. Each close-up lens attaches to the front of a camera lens like a filter, preserving all camera functions while changing the effective focusing distance. The set includes multiple diopter strengths that can be used individually or combined to increase magnification.

Advantages

The macro lenses deliver excellent optical characteristics thanks to high-quality glass elements housed in precisely manufactured metal frames. The set includes +1, +2, +4 and +10 diopter lenses, which can be stacked to achieve greater magnification. All components are supplied in a compact protective case that fits in most camera bags and protects the lenses from dust, dirt and scratches.

Suitable for

• Close-up photography of insects and small animals
• Photographing flowers, blossoms and plant details
• Macro shots of coins, stamps and small collectibles (numismatics)
• Any situation requiring increased magnification without changing the camera body

How to use

Screw the desired close-up lens onto the front filter thread of your camera lens. Use a single diopter for moderate magnification or combine multiple lenses for stronger close-up effect. Compose and focus as usual; autofocus and exposure functions remain available, though manual focus may improve accuracy at higher magnifications. Store lenses in the protective case when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a tripod and adequate lighting when shooting at high magnifications to minimise camera shake and maintain sharpness. Start with the +1 or +2 lens to evaluate working distance, then add stronger diopters as needed.
