Macro lens Walimex 17857

The Walimex 17857 Macro Lens is designed for close-up photography, enabling detailed images of small subjects. The set includes four diopter lenses (+1, +2, +4, +10) that mount onto a camera lens like a filter, preserving all camera functions while reducing the minimum focusing distance. Lenses can be used individually or combined to achieve different magnification levels. The optics are made from quality glass and housed in precisely manufactured metal frames; the set is supplied in a compact protective case to prevent dust and scratches.

Advantages

The macro lens set offers excellent optical characteristics and durable construction thanks to high-quality glass elements and metal housings. Its screw-on mounting preserves autofocus and exposure functions of the camera and allows quick attachment. The included protective case provides convenient transport and safe storage.

Suitable for

• Macro photography of insects
• Close-up shots of flowers and blossoms
• Photographing coins and small objects (numismatics)

How to use

Screw the desired diopter lens onto the front thread of your camera lens as you would a filter. Use single lenses for mild magnification or combine two or more elements to increase close-up effect. Compose and focus as usual; the macro lens reduces the minimum focusing distance, so you may need to adjust working distance. Camera autofocus and exposure settings remain available, but manual focusing can help achieve precise focus at high magnifications.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with the +1 or +2 diopter for moderate close-ups and add stronger elements (+4, +10) only when more magnification is needed. Use a tripod and controlled lighting to improve sharpness and reduce motion blur. Store lenses in the provided case when not in use to protect the optical surfaces.
