Macro lens Walimex 17858

The Walimex 17858 Macro Lens set is designed for close-up photography and is suitable for photographing insects, flowers, coins and other small details. The set attaches to the front of an existing lens like a filter, preserving all camera functions while reducing the minimum focusing distance and magnifying the subject. The kit includes multiple diopter strengths and is supplied in a compact protective case that fits in most camera bags.

Advantages

The macro lenses offer excellent optical characteristics thanks to high-quality glass elements mounted in precisely manufactured metal frames. The interchangeable diopters (+1, +2, +4, +10) can be used individually or combined to achieve different magnification levels. The compact protective case protects the lenses from dust, dirt and scratches and makes transport convenient.

Suitable for

• Insect and small animal photography
• Flower and plant close-ups
• Coin and numismatic photography
• Product detail and texture shots
• Hobby macro projects and scientific documentation

How to use

Screw the appropriate diopter onto the front thread of your camera lens as you would a filter. Start with a lower diopter (+1) and move closer to the subject, then increase magnification by switching to a higher diopter or stacking lenses (+2, +4, +10) as needed. Adjust camera focus and exposure normally; all camera functions remain available. Use a tripod or steady support for best sharpness at high magnification and work at close distances to the subject.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine diopters gradually and check focus and depth of field at each step. Use additional lighting or a ring flash for even illumination and a tripod to reduce camera shake. Store lenses in the supplied protective case when not in use to avoid dust and scratches.
