Canon 2823A001 Overview

Canon 72mm 500D Close-up Lens - Close-up lenses are for quick and easy close-up photography. The close-up lens is screwed on to the front of a lens like a filter. Close-up lenses 250D and 500D have two achromatic elements to correct chromatic aberrations. They do not degrade the high optical performance of EF lenses.

The 250D is suited for lenses with a focal length anywhere from 30 to 135mm. The 500D is geared for lenses with a focal length anywhere from 70 to 300mm.

question

My Nikkor lens is 67 thread (70-300) and what step-up would you recommend.
Asked by: Anonymous
The Cokin 67-72mm Step Up Ring will work well to attach the Canon 72mm 500D Close up Lens to a lens with 67mm filter threads: http://bhpho.to/1r3Evyz

Is there no Canon close-up lens for my Canon EF ...

Is there no Canon close-up lens for my Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM Lens? It's 67 mm, this is 72 mm.
Asked by: Tristan
Canon does not manufacture a 67mm close-up lens. If you are looking to purchase a close up lens for use on your Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM Lens, I would recommend purchasing both the Canon 72mm 500D Close-up Lens, B&H # CACUL500D72, and the Sensei PRO 67-72mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring, B&H # SESURPA6772, for your usage needs. The Sensei PRO 67-72mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring would be the adapter that will allow you to connect the Canon 72mm 500D Close-up Lens onto your Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM Lens.

To use this close up lens on the Tamron 18-270mm lens, you will need to use a 62-72mm Step-Up Ring, such as the following made by Sensei: http://bhpho.to/1ysvihv

question

Wich size fits on 70-300 DG OS Sigma (58, 72 or 77mm)?
Asked by: Anonymous
The 70-300mm Sigma has a 62mm filter thread, so none of the 3 will work. Here is the link of the compatible close-up lenses:http://bhpho.to/1cWGyxz

question

Does this lens come with a cap or do I need to purchase one separately?
Asked by: Anonymous
There is no lens cap included with the Canon 72mm 500D Close-Up Lens. You can use any lens cap for a 72mm thread, such as the following product from Sensei: http://bhpho.to/1pYJsDf

In the description, it says the Canon 72mm 500d ...

In the description, it says the Canon 72mm 500d is recommended for zoom lenses in the 70-300mm range. Would it work on a Tamron 18-400, and if so, what happens above and below that range?
Asked by: David
The 250D & 500D have long been the best option for close up filters but these do have optical properties and are best used as recommended. I see no reason why you could not use it on the 18-400mm lens at the longer focal length range. Used at the wider end, you may see a reduction in image quality at the edges of your image.

question

I have a AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II (filter size 72mm) would this product work/attach on my lens?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, this Close-up filter is able to fit on your Nikon 18-200mm lens and is most useful between the 70-200mm range on this lens.

question

I have noticed a photographer using a 50MM and the 72mm filter on family photography. Any ideas on what that may do? I don't think she was doing JUST closeups.

We would not be able to speak to this specific photographers usage.
