Just purchased a lens set (4 lenses) off ebay for 10 pounds, too cheap i thought but they seem perfect, it's raining and its dark outside so nothing interesting to show but i can do shots from 0.5 cm away. Well chuffed!




I have a +1, +2 & +4 lens and a Macro Lens

I can put them all on but what order and what is the best?

thanks

Sounds like the set I got! Are they in a black plastic pouch?

0.5cm? Like half a centimeter? That is close.

My S3 will focus on dust on the lens when set to super-macro. It is not all that usable though because that close up, the lens blocks the light. It only works on the shortest focal length.

Out of interest, which lens do you put them on?

There are loads, but the one I bought for my Canon 350D is the same as this one:

They go on the front of the lens?

I'd assumed this thread was about extension tubes.

Yes they screw on top of the lens, he does also do extension tubes which i would suggest as he is a top seller! smile
