The NiSi Close Up Lens Kit NC 58mm comes with 49mm and 52mm adapters to help you get the macro capabilities out of your telephoto lens, at a surprisingly long working distance. It is compatible with zoom and fixed focal length lenses with focal lengths between 24-250mm (APS-C) and 35-250mm (cinema). An inexpensive way to enter the world of macro, and it is an interesting world. There are whole little universes in your environment. You'll find yourself marveling at the diversity of nature and start to think about your steps in a different way. Well, it doesn't get all hippy-dippy, but the macro imagery is mind-expanding. Macro photography may even develop your other aspects of photography because you think about cropping and other aspects of photography in a whole new way.<\/p>\n
A close-up lens is the most effective way to achieve the minimum focusing distance. Macro lenses are of course better in terms of image quality, but the price tag is commensurate.<\/p>\n
The magnification factor is at best very close to 1:1 when focusing at 120mm focal length.<\/p>\n
When using a close-up lens, it is important to know the maximum and minimum distances at which you can focus, because you can only get a successful image between them. The best working distance is between 9 and 22 centimetres.<\/p>\n
We recommend using an aperture of f\/8-f\/16 with a close-up lens for the most accurate focusing.<\/p>\n
The NiSi Close Up Lens Kit NC 58mm is made of two optically corrective glasses with an apochromatic design, and multi-nano coating for good resolution and natural colours, images are almost completely free of purple\/green edge colours and in the focus and bokeh range.<\/p>\n
Attach to any lens with a 58mm thread between 24 and 250mm.<\/p>\n
49 and 52mm adapters are included.<\/p>\n
