Product Description

Product Description
Capture more detail by optically enlarging the image. Think of the creative images you can take of flowers, insects, coins, jewelry, and collectables. Plus, close-up photography has many scientific and industrial applications, such as recording medical/dental work, and cataloging miniaturized components.Digital cropping and enlarging with PC software reduces image quality, because you're taking the same number of pixels and spreading them across a greater area. With the Tiffen Close-Up Lens set, you can get as close as a couple of inches from your subject, and still maintain image resolution and clarity.Each lens attaches easily onto your camera. They come in a variety of enlarging powers, and can be used individually or combined to give you the degree of detail you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Filters, November 4, 2005

By	Sabad One - See all my reviews

I am an just an amateur, and I have owned these filters (+ others of the same brand) for about two years, and I have been very very happy with them. In particular, you cannot believe how different your landscape pictures will look like with a cicular polarizer filter unless you try it. This filter will really change your life (well, picturewise at least...). If used properly, you will have pictures with incredibly neat colors. The way it will render the blue of a noon sky is unbelievable. These filters are well worth their price. If you only want to buy one, you should definitely buy the circular polarizer.

5.0 out of 5 stars great buy, a camera necessity, January 8, 2002

By	M. Woodard "mwoody1" (Montana, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Improves pictures dramatically and protects lense. Top quality and sent in a neat bag. Local camera store had this at twice the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what you need to get started, March 23, 2006

By	Kellie Peterson (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use the UV filter as my lense insurance policy. The polarizer really makes a difference in highlighting sky/horizon shots. Here in the southwest the warming filter adds a really nice touch to a lot of my nature shots. Very nice package overall and the price is a hit versus buying all three individually. The fold up case also comes in handy.
