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.

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.

Love this little guy. Yeah, it's more expensive than the cheap ones you find at some camera stores, but this "lens" has a double element, takes sharp pictures, and is oodles better than any other close up filter you can get. I use it with my Nikon D80--you need to purchase a step-up ring, as this is designed for Canon lenses, but they're cheap and simple to use. Two thumbs up, five big stars.

Superb optics to shorten the working distance for close-up work, very little color fringing and no visible distortion. Nice piece of glass.

Excellent close up lens. Bit expensive for what it is, but provides what you expect of a quality close up lens. I wish it would provide for larger depth of field. I am using in with my 25-105 f/4L IS USM. I would recommend it to everyone. Canon 500D 77mm Close Up Lens
