Macro lens Walimex 17858 Transparent Glass Metal 6.2 cm

The Walimex 17858 macro lens set is designed for close-up photography and consists of multiple diopter lenses that mount in front of an existing lens like a filter. Made with transparent optical glass in metal frames and supplied in a compact protective case, the set preserves camera functions while reducing the minimum focusing distance to capture fine detail in subjects such as insects, flowers and coins. The lenses can be used individually or combined to increase magnification.

Advantages

The set includes +1, +2, +4 and +10 diopter macro lenses that deliver excellent optical characteristics and improved detail reproduction. High-quality glass elements are housed in precisely manufactured metal frames for durability and reliable alignment. A compact protective case protects the lenses from dust, dirt and scratches and fits easily into a camera bag.

Suitable for

• Macro photography of insects
• Close-up shots of flowers and blossoms
• Numismatics and close inspection of coins
• General close-up detail work with DSLR and mirrorless cameras

How to use

Screw the chosen macro lens onto the front thread of your camera lens like a filter. Use a single diopter for modest magnification or combine two or more diopters to increase magnification; stacking the lenses shortens the minimum focus distance. All camera functions (autofocus, aperture control, exposure metering) remain available though effective autofocus performance may vary depending on camera and lens. Compose and focus as usual, and consider using a tripod or manual focus for greatest precision in close-up work.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with the lowest diopter (+1) and increase magnification by adding lenses as needed. Use a tripod, remote release and good lighting to reduce camera shake and ensure sharp detail. When stacking diopters, pay attention to working distance and depth of field; higher diopters give stronger magnification but shallower depth of field.
