This Ice Achromat 200 Close-Up Filter offers the ability to achieve macro-like results with standard camera lenses. The filter minimizes chromatic aberration and distortion for no sharpness loss around the edges and no color cast. A dual-sided multicoating keeps the optical glass clear and easy to clean, while a front filter thread makes it possible to add additional filters or a lens hood. Transport and protect the filter in the provided hard shell zipper case.
A close-up lens is a magnifier that optically decreases the focal length of a camera lens placed behind it. This effect lessens the minimum focus distance between the camera lens and a subject. Magnification can then be obtained by decreasing the distance between the subject and the combined camera lens and close-up lens.
