Hoya 72mm Close-up Kit (+1,+2,+4) Lens
Have you ever wished that your lens could focus closer than it does? Imagine that you could put a magnifying glass in front of your camera's lens. Close-up lenses work in this fashion and are the simplest and least expensive method of close-up photography. They are available in different "powers" (diopters). A +1 close-up lens will allow you to focus your lens somewhat closer than it already does. A +2 close-up lens will allow you to focus closer than the +1. A +4 lens will allow you to focus even closer than a +2, and so on. These lenses can be used individually or in any combination to achieve ultra-close focus. The maximum magnification achieved with these attachments will depend on the focal length of your lens as well as the actual close focusing capability of that particular lens.
This kit consists of a +1, +2, and +4.
NOTE: A +1 combined with a +2 will equal a +3, while a +2 combined with a +4 will equal a +6, and so on.

Comments about Hoya 72mm Close-up Kit (+1,+2,+4) Lens:
I thought I was going to have to buy a macro lens in order to use my DSLR for macro photos until I read about Close-up Lenses. I haven't owned the kit for too long but the lenses seem to allow the camera lens to get much closer to subject.
My only gripe is that I think they could send some literature along with this product to recommend ways to best use the product.

Comments about Hoya 72mm Close-up Kit (+1,+2,+4) Lens:
Just started using it. Works well and makes closer shooting possible. Manual focusing definitely makes it better. Stacking two or more together is a little trickier. All in, unless you are a serious Macro shooter, this is a practical solution in terms of size and price.

Comments about Hoya 72mm Close-up Kit (+1,+2,+4) Lens:
I use lenses on my Contax 645 when I need to get slightly closer, for wedding portraits, for smaller details. These lenses are so sharp and do not compromise the magnificent Zeiss glass already in my lense. I was just able to photograph a queen bee on a flower, detailing its wings, that I could not have focused more than 3 feet close to. Of course the downfall to lenses is that they must be stored carefully as to avoid scratches, but when you get your images back of close details that are tack sharp, it is worth the pain!
