5Excellent deal.Jan 28, 2009
By Chris R. Field "christoph281"
For those who are wanting to play with Macro without paying $500 this is the way to go.

I was hesitant, with only one review on this product when i bought it, but hey, [...] Why not huh? if it sucks i could always keep it in my camping gear for starting fires.

I got it in, it comes with a cheap little pleather pouch and lenscaps for the font and back. Which is all it needs really.

I have a Nikon D40 with a 18-55mm kit lens plus a 55-200vr telephoto lens.

See the pics i have submitted for this product in the pics section, the pics speak for themselves on how well this works. It does not interfere with autofocus but you have to be real close. The 18-55 lens worked great with this, but i have achieved better than 1:1 magnification with the 55-200mm lens. At 150-200mm the focus depth is so razor thin that it is hard to make out much . dropping down to 135-105mm seems to work best.

It installs just like a normal filter by screwing onto the end of the lens.

I have never played with a real macro lens. I am an amature, and have been in this hobby for 5 months and only taken 6,000 photo's. I would love a real macro lens one day, but right now this is defaintly fun to play with! it really kicks butt witht he 55-200mm lens.

for 30 bucks you get a real fun toy that gives you macro ability.

all the pics i submitted are resized by amazon, none have been cropped. something the size of the diameter of a cigerette is nearly enough to fill the frame.

good times!

4OK for Macro experiments on the cheapFeb 07, 2009
By Cab F.
For the money this is an inexpensive lens for trying out macro photography with your new Nikon Dxx SLR. They don't mention that it requires a 52 to 55mm adapter, but the adapter does come with it. Screw it on your Nikon 18-55, keep the VR on if you have it or use a tripod and it will work. Switch to manual focus and have some fun with bugs, flowers, coins and other objects. Try shooting the back of your hand and see a forested plain. The depth of field is poor as only the center or flat part of your subject will be in sharp focus. Shipping was fast. Playing with this will make you start saving for a REAL macro lens.

5A Satisfactory AlternativeApr 14, 2009
By MTSOfan
I bought this lens after reading a review on Amazon, and as an alternative to buying a much more expensive macro lens. I've found the results to be very impressive, much better than anything I've had before. Though I cannot compare the macros I'm now taking with those of a Nikkor lens that would mount directly onto the camera, I am quite satisfied.

5Fun.Mar 16, 2012
By Andrea D. Hutchinson
This is a fun quasi macro lens to get a feel for focus and macro practice. Very user friendly, much easier than changing out a lens for play, I find it is definitely urging me to play more with Macro photography and the prospect of actually buying a Macro Lens.
Definitely a good tool for a beginner like me. I just took some awesome Macro Orchids yesterday!
