Reddit reviews Digital Concepts cl-58 58mm 4-Piece Multi-Coated Camera Lens Filter Sets

I could take the exact same pictures with my 18-55 kit lens with no modification. The author looks like he's 4-feet away from that bee.

I took this macro yesterday using that kit lens and a shitty $12 screw-on macro lens from amazon.

Try these for the price, less than $15 (affiliate link).

I enjoy them. I'm an amateur, so I couldn't see spending $300+ on a macro lens.

I recently got this shot with them

They can be stacked for maximum macro, which is what I did with the example above.

Here are some examples I took with a macro set. Probably very similar to these. I don't own them, another photographer had a set and I just played with them.

These are unprocessed, other than a scaling/sharpening preset I use.

This is as close as I could get with my 50mm 1.8 @1.8

This is as close as I could get with a 1x macro converter @1.8

This is as close as I could get with a 1x+2x macro convert @1.8
