Never even considered trying a close-up lens before because of all the bad press this type of lens generally takes for having garbage-like optical qualities. I didn't even realize Canon made them; you don't hear about or see them advertised. But they do! And while - like everything else they make - Canon close-up lenses are multiple times the price of almost any comparable product; I will happily confirm I am not disappointed. I added the one I bought to my 70-200 f2.8L and holy smokes! Now I've got a brand new high powered macro L lens - when I want it - for under 200 bucks! THAT is a GREAT value.

This lens is not only a great Macro converter , it can also be used to calibrate a telephoto lens at infinity focus in a very short distance when the camera needs to be calibrated to a specific lens and you are going to need the sharpest infinity setting possible. (Astrological Night Shots,etc) It's very well made and quite substantial when you pick it up and the threads are machined perfectly to the 77mm lens I currently use. I saved a lot of money with this purchase and I am delighted with it. I instantly put it to use right out of the box and was not disappointed.......worth every penny. Brian Petersen of Adorama TV tuned me into this lens several years earlier and I had always wanted to try one so now I own one instead..Jackpot.

When you need to focus closer than your lens allows and you don't have a macro lens or don't want to go through the trouble to set up extension tubes this is the answer! I always carry the 500D close-up lens as part of my kit.

The Canon 500 d is the gold standard of close up filters. It allows you to get significantly closer to your subject than the regular minimum focus distance of your lens with no distortion.
