Product Description
The "D" series incorporates double-element achromatic design for maximum optical performance. This close-up attachment can be used with most EF lenses to provide a shorter minimum focusing distance with no loss of light. Changes closest focusing distance from infinity to 500mm (approx. 19.7" from front of lens). The 500D works best with telephoto lenses from 70-300mm, manual focusing is recommended.

This is a wonderful closeup lens. It easily ranks with the Nikon multi-element closeup lenses. I use it on my 24-105 and don't have to carry a macro lens with me most of the time.

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.

The Canon 500D 77mm Close Up Lens does the job for getting up close and personal. Highly recommended for macro if you have a 77mm lens. I use my Canon 20D DSLR and the Canon 100-400mm IS USM and the 500D works great with them.

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.

Takes really good close-ups. Not really a substitute for true macro but, for other than hard core macro shooters, it's close enough; light, inexpensive and very sharp! Use it with a Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 and it does very well.

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.

A surpisingly good lens. I have been using it on my Canon 40D with a 70-200mm F/4L and it takes great shots. It works well with a 1.4x teleconverter too. Flowers taken with an off-axis fill flash came out great. You need to get a ring adapter to fit the 77mm 500D to the 72mm 70-200 zoom.
It's not cheap, but the quality is worth it.

This turned my 70-200 into a superlative macro lens on par with a dedicated macro.

I would like to get a little closer to one-to-one
For that, I'd need a macro lens or extension tubes (or stackable filters). This filter has great glass and the edge is brass. Makes it a little heavy.

works great on Nikon 70-200 f2.8 vrii
I purchased this for my Nikon 70-200 f2.8 vrii so that it can double as a "macro" lens. Instead of spending another $1k for a 105 f2. Read more

Exactly as expected
Not much to say, it feels solid, it screws in easily and securely, and does not affect image quality enough for me to notice. Read more

A macro for 1/4 the cost of a macro
I got this lens to work with my Sony A700 and Tamron 70-200 2.8 zoom. That lens already has Macro capability but only 1:3. This lens brings it to about 1:1. Read more
