With a +5 diopter, the NL 5 serves for the seamless extension of the range provided by the NL 3 close-up lens on a 35mm main lens (up to approx. 1:3.5). If you can tolerate a small gap after the NL2 close-up lens on a 50mm main lens (approx. 1:4.4-1:4), then you enter a little farther into the macro range with the NL 5 instead of the NL 4 (up to approx. 1:2.6).
The filter ring is made from brass, yielding a stronger product. Brass filter rings are also less prone to jamming. In addition, the seal between the glass and filter ring is exceptionally strong giving the filter added strength and durability. The filter is legendary and synonymous with the highest standards of filter production. It comes with a solid 10-year warranty.

Comments about B+W 43mm Close-up NL +5 Lens:
I bought this to carry when I am afield and not wanting to carry a macro. Coupled to a 50mm lens it does a decent job as a impromptu macro lens. I found you must stop down to at least f/4 for sharp images and a steady hold or better yet a tripod or monopod is preferred for optimum results. While this is not a replacement for a dedicated macro it does well enough that I find it a must when I go out with just one lens. The typical B+W construction and optics are top notch.
