How To Use Macro (Close Up) Filters

I love close up filters - or to give them another name, Macro filters. They are like a magnifying glass you screw into the front of your camera lens which allows you to get in and focus closer. Macro filters come in varying strengths and you can stack them together one on top of the other for more or less magnification.
But what I really love about them is that you can use a macro filter on almost any lens so you can shoot close up but use the characteristics of different focal lengths. For example use one on a mid range lens of about 50 mm and you have a very natural looking perspective. Use them on a 200 mm lens and depth of field becomes minute and you get that wonderful narrow field of view.
Use good quality close up filters and image quality is fine - maybe not quite so good as with a dedicated macro lens but there's so little difference it's not noticeable.

Thank you for answering that question. I have been considering these filters for a while. And wasn't sure of they really worked. I will be getting mine soon. Great job.

Thank you - Reversing ring will probably be better optical quality but it's more fiddly. Filters are easy and provided you use good ones there shouldn't be a problem.

Great video. I was out with some Kood close-up filters at the weekend. I only used the No2 (I was shooting handheld), but I got some great shots of insects with it. I'd love a macro lens, but these are a great way to get into it. Might also pick up a Reversing ring for my 50mm Prime.

@redbank542 3 года назад

Nice video Mike, I just got myself some closeup filters from Polaroid, they com with a nice pouch, a 1x, 2x, 4x and a 10x. Really nice way to get into the world of macro photography. Again, keep putting this videos out, they are just phenomenal. Thanks you

This is my first time seeing you in this video. I can say for sure i liked every bit of explanation you gave. The purpose of the video was to give information and the amount of information i got from this video was satisfactory along with beautiful demonstration and there is a plus point for your sense of humor. I then immediately subscribed you. Now off to learn more from your videos! :D I really appreciate your work and thanks a lot for the guide! :)

@jackthehatphoto 2 года назад

10 years late to the show. Great video. Just to add... an advantage of a dedicated macro lens over close up lenses is that the distance to subject is often greater with a proper macro lens: something important if you're shooting insects etc 🙂

@MikeBrowne 2 года назад

Agreed. Filters are pretty good but for photographers into macro nothing beats a macro lens... MIKE🙏😊

You have a very nicely moderated voice, and a very smooth delivery style. In my opinion, you are very comfortable to listen to, and the pace of your delivery is just exactly right. Thank you for your video! I have Native American artifacts I want to document, and your information is very helpful in helping me to do so. Your photographic "jig" was simple yet very effective for illustrating magnification vs. field of view. You have a teacher's natural gift for presentation, thanks! Rick

Thank you so much! Brilliant review, a macro lens has been on my wish list for a while, but becase of the expense I have been unsure. Think ill get a few macro lenses before the big investment.

@RRooooooNNNN 5 лет назад

Thank you so very much, I received a 4pc kit +1, +2, +4 and +10 and was confused to as how they worked, but now I know.

@MikeBrowne 11 лет назад

Yes there is a drop in light as it travels up the tubes which means you use a slower shutter speed / higher ISO to compensate. Best Option? I still like my CUs

@MikeBrowne 10 лет назад

Yes you can stack them up

@MikeBrowne 11 лет назад

I use Hoya because they're pretty good.

I got some of these macro filters when I purchased my Canon 60D. Although I haven't had an opportunity to try them yet. When I do they will altogether have a magnification of x17 so I have no idea what I will take pictures of but I am sure it will be great fun.
