Not as good as a dedicated lens, but the filters work great! I'm very satisfied.

Excellent for macro photography. Nothing negative to say.

Great addition to anyone on a budget looking to get into macro photography. I've been very pleased with the results. Actually, won a photo contest with a shot taken with the +4 lens! The case they came in was an added bonus.

I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend's mother who like to take pictures of insects but can't get close enough with her kit lens. I tested them and they are really very good if you don't want to invest in a true macro lens. I would give them five star but noticed that the plastic wrap that each lens is packaged in had left very slight marks on the surface. It was noticed when there was a bit on condensation on the front. I didn't have my lens tissues there ,but it probably would have cleaned up easily. It was very slight and didn't affect picture quality.

These filters work great and are just what I needed as a hobbyist to help grow my small pack of equipment. It evens comes with a nice case. They do feel a little flimsy, but don't let that hold you back. Quality of pictures are fabulous for helping increase my macro capabilities when I cant afford the $600 lens I really want.

must use a tripod, hard to focus due to lack of depth of field, i would recommend getting extension tubes instead

You can't beat this for an inexpensive macro alternative. I put the '+4' these on a 55-200 Nikon lens for some flower shots. The pictures turned out well (even hand held a couple shots). No significant blurring or softness at the edge of the picture.

While I am saving my pennies to get a macro lens, I went ahead and purchased these as a tease of magnified photo opportunities to come. I use them in shooting my salt water reef aquarium coral, as well as insects and flowers up close. I have had decent results. Resolution is good, no noted distortion until I stack multiple filters together, and then it shows a circle of shadow on the perimeter of the photo (duh, I'm shooting through a tube up front in that configuration), but the center of the photo is still okay. I am pleased with these lenses as a step closer to macro photography as my macro piggy bank grows. [...]

I love these lenses they have helped me get many great pics

These are great for macro photos of flowers and bugs. You can stack them in any combination from 1X to 7X. Using them does magnify any shaking so you may need to use a tripod, and windy days make things tough. The only thing I didn't like was they tightened up when screwed on and were hard to get off.

It is great for my Da50-200 for the micro things

My wife uses our Nikon D60 daily & needed more variety in lens, this item greatly improved her close -up options.

This was a replacement kit for our digital slr. We had a similar kit for our film system. This is a great kit for the average enthusiast photographer. It provides numerous options for taking close-up images. I would highly recommend it for the average photographer

Good little lenses, better use them with a tripod, to shoot some short-take closes, but it´s effective if you have a camcoders without pro lenses, like a good telemacro, so you can swing out the minimum distance focus problem with these lenses.
