This proprietary AR coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, compared to untreated glass which has a light loss of 4% per surface.

My husband and I are professional photographers, and we decided to take a hobby of close-up nature pictures. When we got these in the mail, we were astounded. they are phenomenal. Just how fantastic your pictures can look. The only thing we recommend is that you make sure your lighting is good. Other than that, a must-have for any photographer.

I wasn't sure about this set when I first ordered it, but it was cheap so I figured if it works, great deal, if it doesn't, no big loss.

Well it actually works great and allows you to get some really good close up shots using any lens you already have that is the same size.
