Great for taking closeup photos of flowers.

Comments about Sony VCL-M3358 58mm Close Up Lens:
I bought this for my Sony DSC-F828 still camera and it really helps out on the telephoto end of the zoom when shooting insects and the like. Glass is a bit heavy and may tax some auto-focus systems (not a problem on this camera).
Pros
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons
Best Uses
- Macro and portraits
Comments about Sony VCL-M3358 58mm Close Up Lens:
Extends the macro range on my Sony DSC-H2 without adding f-stops. And I can stack it with Sony's 1758 TC for a little more working range. Excellent optical quality.
Pros
- Easily Interchangeable

- Lightweight

Comments about Sony VCL-M3358 58mm Close Up Lens:
I currently photograph for my own pleasure and use my Sony Cybershot DSC-H1. Eventually I would like to be skilled enough to sell my art, but in the meantime I enjoy learning, via experience, the joy, frustrations, and techniques of photography. With the close up lens I am able to capture the details--the elements--of nature. The lens obviously cannot provide the close-ups as provided by the professional cameras, but for amateur photographers and artists, it performs remarkably well. To capture mobile nature I stack my telescopic lens on top of my close up lens as encroaching upon the subject(s) "comfort zone" tends to scare it off. I still have not had the funds to purchase one, but unless you have natural, good lighting, a macro ring light would be of benefit as the camera and photographer can cast a shadow on the subject and sometimes the photographs can appear washed out. Otherwise, I love it!!
