I was a little hesitant at first, but went ahead and bought this product. I'm glad I did, it even came with a nylon carry case that all the lenses fit in. The only downside, you have to use the adapter, at least for my Nikon D40, I have left the adapter on my 18-55 lens with no problems so far. It works as advertised, in fact I have 'stacked' all the lenses and have taken several pictures with very good results.

I would recommend this product for a cheaper way of getting a macro lens.

I got my filter set today - 5 DAYS before the actual arrival date! It came complete and in excellent condition (bag and the 4 macro filters). I tried it initially on my 18-55 lens, and I had a slight panic attack, coz it was way out of focus, and wouldn't focus. Silly me, I should've known to read the insructions that came with - camera should be set at manual mode. That taken care of, I try it again, on my kit lens, the 50mm 1.8, then the 55-200, and I am very impressed. You can get close, REALLY close to your subject, especially once you start combining all the filters together. I'm glad I purchased these. For anyone who's on a very tight budget, this is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Item arrived very quickly! Although I would love to be able to buy a proper macro lens, I feel like this product is a good value for the money. I've had lots of fun playing around with these filters. They fit beautifully on my Nikon D40. They take some getting used to as they work like a magnifying glass, but I really love the results.

A while back I had ordered a set of the Digital Concept macro lens filters and really liked them, so decided to purchase another set.

I did not receive what I ordered. Instead of the stated Digital Concepts I received a different brand - Zeikos 52mm 4 piece high definition Close-Up filter set (+1, +2, +4 and +10 Diopters) Magnification Kit - Metal Rim, includes deluxe case

Though I was annoyed, and debated about returning the filters, I decided to give the Zeikos a try. They are as good as the other brand, and just as much fun to play with.

The biggest downside is the carrying case. Because of the way it's designed (tri-fold style), it does take up less space, but it's also bad for the filters. If the case is opened too quickly the filters fall out. The slots they're kept in are simply loose pockets. The Digital Concepts case is laid out much differently. It's a wallet style fold with tight netting to keep the filters in place until they are removed by hand.

If you end up with the Zeikos you might want to make yourself a new case unless you want broken filters.

Good product overall. Will never replace a macro lens, but fun to play with until you can afford the real deal.

I did a bit of investigation of macro lenses (expensive)and macro filter offerings. I went with the filters to start with because of the cost. The Digital Concepts filters were delivered very quickly, and they perform as advertised. The glass quality seems better than other lenses sold on the web. The included soft pouch to store the lenses in is very nice. I can recommend this product as an inexpensive way to get into macro photography.

After searching for a reasonably priced macro lens for my Nikon D5000, I was pointed in the direction of macro "filters", which have apparently come a long way from what I remember from way back in my early SLR days.
After perusing the numerous offerings on Amazon, I selected this set, partially because it seemed to be of a better quality than many of the others, partly because of the carrying pouch, and partly because it wasn't bundled with other stuff that I didn't need (lens cloth, blower, etc.)

I haven't used it all that much yet, but for what I have done with it I have been quite pleased with the results. The lenses are easy to use, work well in combination with each other, and yield excellent results.

Overall a great item at a quite affordable price.

While I'm sure it's not as good as using an actual macro lens on the camera, this is pretty good and works as advertized.

The product arrived quickly and packaged well. The lenses exceeded my expectation as to what I was looking for in a macro lense- and I got 4 of them.

i had so much fun using these before i took the plunge and bought a macro lens. these have a much smaller Depth of Focus than a macro lens allows. But it was really good practice for get up close to the subject for shooting. sometimes I prefer the aesthetic result of using close-up filters to the macro lens, the only drawback it is time consuming to change the filters (and make sure they stay dust free) to get just the right magnification. I keep them on me with my camera gear at all times because sometimes i want to use my 52mm lens or 67mm lens and then throw on the +2 or +1 for a shot or two.

I don't know much about lenses, but this product arrived fast, without problems, and the look on my sister's face when she got it tells me it was a good buy!
