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.

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.

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.

Gents,

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