Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon 500D 77mm Close Up Lens
Customer Review: great macro
Summary: 4 Stars
i really did not know what to expect when i got this "lens" i have been truly surprised. i have taken about 500 shots, 50 keepers so far. mostly leaves and seeds. it is not what i call a true macro lens. but it beats having my bag on me at all times. i went for a walk and had it in my pocket. put it on my 70-200 and it did an outstanding job. does not work so well with the wide angle lens eg 17-40. bit of a learning curve, but once you get the idea, it does do a good job.
for the money, it is well worth the investment.
Customer Review: paired with a sharp lens; GREAT
Summary: 4 Stars
The Canon Close Up Lens is a great addition to your collections of lens, if you have one of those L lenses with 77mm , Canon also has the 250D, depending on your lens, please check first.
The Close Up lens is perfect for shoting flowers, bugs, fishes or items you want to sell on ebay :), putting the lens might require some AE +1 compensation, just try and make some test shots before going out, also if you have IS, turn it on.
Overall, i like the lens, better than my extension tubes.
Customer Review: I nice tool for the bag that I use occasionally
Summary: 4 Stars
This turns your long zoom into an effective macro lens. It is good for when you want to get tight focusing but don't have the luxury of close quarters working distance of a traditional macro lens. I have used this effectively. It is definitely an occasional use tool. I have probably used it 6 or 7 times since I bought it. Even though this is a Canon product I use it on my Nikon lenses. It really doesn't matter, it would work on any lens that takes 77mm filters.
