Macro lens Walimex 17857 Transparent Glass Metal 5.8 cm

The Walimex 17857 macro lens set is designed for close-up photography and captures fine details of small subjects. The set includes diopter lenses that attach to your existing lens like a filter, preserving all camera functions while reducing the working distance to allow higher magnification. The lenses are suitable for photographing insects, flowers, coins and similar small objects; they are supplied in a compact protective case and are made from high-quality glass mounted in metal frames.

Advantages

The macro lenses offer a range of +1, +2, +4 and +10 diopters to tailor magnification and working distance. Optical components provide clear image reproduction and are housed in precisely manufactured metal frames for durability. Because the lenses screw onto the front of your lens they keep autofocus and exposure functions intact. The set is portable and the protective case protects the lenses from dust, dirt and scratches.

Suitable for

• Macro photography of insects and small animals
• Close-up shots of flowers and blossoms
• Coin and small-object photography (numismatics)
• Product detail and texture photography

How to use

Select the desired diopter or combine several to increase magnification, then screw the close-up lens onto the front of your camera lens as you would a filter. Compose and focus normally; the close-up lens reduces the minimum focusing distance so you can fill the frame with small subjects. Use a tripod or stable support for sharper images at close distances and adjust aperture and shutter speed to control depth of field and motion blur.

Usage recommendations

For best results when shooting insects or flowers, use a small aperture to increase depth of field and steady support to avoid camera shake. Start with the lower diopter (+1) and add stronger diopters (+2, +4, +10) only if additional magnification is required. Store the lenses in the supplied case when not in use.
