Macro lens Walimex 17855 Transparent Glass Metal 5.2 cm Diameter

The Walimex 17855 macro lens set is designed for close-up photography and mounts to your existing lens like a filter, preserving all camera functions. The set includes diopters that act like a magnifier to reduce the shooting distance and make fine details visible; it is suitable for subjects such as insects, flowers and coins. Lenses can be used individually or combined to increase magnification. The optics are made from high-quality transparent glass housed in precisely manufactured metal frames and delivered in a compact protective case to guard against dust, dirt and scratches.

Advantages

High-quality glass optics and robust metal frames ensure reliable image quality and durability. The screw-on design keeps all camera functions available while enabling quick attachment and removal. Multiple diopter strengths (+1, +2, +4, +10) offer flexible magnification options and can be combined for higher diopter values. A compact protective case provides safe transport and storage.

• Macro photography of insects and small animals

How to use

Screw a macro diopter onto the front thread of your camera lens like a filter. Start with a single diopter (e.g. +1) and move closer to the subject until it is in focus; if more magnification is required, add additional diopters by screwing them together. Use manual focus or fine-tune autofocus if available. Maintain a steady camera position or use a tripod for sharp results at close distances.

Usage recommendations

For best results with the Walimex 17855 macro lens set, use good lighting and a stable support (tripod). When combining diopters, check image quality at each step and adjust aperture and focus to reduce aberrations. Store lenses in the supplied case to protect the glass and metal frames from damage.
