Thanks for posting the examples! I've been meaning to post some samples with my Tiffen lenses as well, but it has been a busy week.

Well done!

I got the same set-up as you,but one thing I have found is that you can use the zoom to get even closer.Without the close-up lenses the zoom can't get you any closer,but with the close-up,zoom can get you closer and still remain in focus.This is a sample of a spider that is the size of a pea.

Took me a bit to figure it out. But here is the closest i could get it...

Hello tommy_t,

i have some questions that i need your advise...

1) What is the dist between the cam and your subject?

2) Did you stack up the filters (+17)?

3) Was macro mode on?

4) Was the cam zoomed all the way out to its max?

5) What was the aperture and f stops setting used?

May i know why did you decide to get the tiffen close-up filters over marco lens?

What do you think of the kenko marco lens?

I just got my adaptor and looking at marco lens to take marco shots of insects,but couldn't really decide between kenko marco lens and tiffen close-up filters...

Thanks alot for your help!

Hello, here are the settings...

Distance: appx. 2-3 inches
Filters: +10 +7 stacked
Shooting Mode: Auto
Macro: on
Shutter: 1/320s
Zoom: 17.5mm
Aperture: 4.3475
F-number: 4.5

I decided to get the Tiffen close-up lens because, at the time, it was the only one I could find that had +17. I did not know a macro lens was available. Kenko was my second choice. I am using a kenko polarizer and I like it.

Hope this helps.

Wow tommy_t,

that was a fast reply!

I am impressed by the dist......2-3 inches? That really close !!!

Thanks alot for your help man!

Have you ever compare pics taken by a kenko marco lens?

Well,just wanna know the difference in quality....

I have a dumb question,.

Are these "filters" just standard threaded filters that would work to an extent with any camera? Or are they designed for your particular type of camera?

The pictures are amazing. I have no macro right now,. and am trying to decide what route to go.

These are 37mm thread filters mounted on a S30 via lens adapter.

Gents,

Have either of you used either the Canon Telephoto converter or other 3rd party lenses?
