Customer Review: Good bang for your buck
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this Sony VCL-M3358 Close-up lens. I wanted to experiment in macro photography without jumping head-on into buying a dedicated macro lens right away. This is a fairly substantial piece of glass at 2.5 ozs, it is multi-coated and comes with a very sturdy plastic storage case. It screws easily onto my Canon 55-250mm IS zoom lens. After experimenting for awhile and figuring out what settings to use it became pretty easy to quickly bring a stationary subject into focus. My technique evolved to turn the focus ring all the way to the right, back off just a bit, and then physically move the camera in and out to get a rough focus and then manually fine tune from there. I found it also necessary to hold my breath and let the IS stabilize for a few seconds before slowly pressing the shutter button. At full zoom on my lens it doesn't take much movement to lose the subject completely. I was shooting in a dimly lit room where I also found that my built-in flash works exceptionally well, again at full zoom there is no noticeable shadow produced by the lens blocking the light although I didn't experiment too much with anything under 200mm. Because you get so close to whatever you are shooting I did have to turn the flash compensation down to -2 to prevent washing everything out. I am looking forward to some nicer weather to get out and find some bugs to shoot!
