(More customer reviews)There are four filters in this package that enhances an existing lens, turning it into a Macro lens. I received my set today and have tried it out. The M+1, M+2, M+4, and M+10 filters are amazing, turning my non-macro-capable Tamron 17-50 DiII VC into a macro lens. Normally, this lens has a minimum distance of 1ft. With the M+10 threaded, I could get up close and personal (almost touching the object) The quality is great; Metal rings with glass elements (no cheap plastic here).
It's tricky to use, however. For one thing, the depth of field is very narrow. You'll probably have to manually focus and also adjust the distance from your object to the camera to get things in focus. This wasn't a problem for me when I tested it out, taking pictures of my son's Jessie (from Toy Story 2) figure that was lying around and thus convenient (at 2am, I wasn't picky on my subject matter, plus I wanted to try these things out)
The reason it lost a star was because the worksmanship of one of 4 filters rattle, the M+1. It still works as a filter, just rattles a bit. Also, but this might be because it's 2am in the morning, the M+1 seems to have a slight orange tinge.
Also, you might have trouble stacking some of these, as the glass gets in the way, even if they're double-threaded.
I've already ordered a replacement (from the same seller), and will be returning this one back. Hopefully, the replacement won't have this problem. (and hopefully I won't have any problems getting my refund for the one I'm returning.)
I tried to upload a video (taken from my Canon 60D with the M+2 filter attached) showing how the M+1 rattles, but something's causing it to stall.
