The B+W 67mm Close-Up +2 SC NL 2 Lens offers the ability to achieve macro-like results with camera lenses that have 67mm front filter threads. A close-up lens is a magnifier that optically decreases the focal length of a camera lens placed behind it. This effect lessens the minimum focus distance between the camera lens and a subject. Magnification can then be obtained by decreasing the distance between the subject and the combined camera lens and close-up lens.

The magnifying power of a close-up lens is indicated by its diopter strength. A close-up lens with a higher diopter number provides more relative magnification and can be combined with other close-up lenses to increase, or fine-tune the macro effect. This close-up lens has a diopter strength of +2. Diopter strengths of +1, +3, +4, or +5 are also available where this close-up lens type's effect becomes progressively stronger with each diopter strength number increase.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface of this lens includes one layer of anti-reflection coating. B+W close-up lenses are constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity. This close-up lens features an F-Pro brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

A: It is a matter of optics. Nikon is noted for optics. And it will be better than other brands. These are also other good models, https://bhpho.to/3CkkJES

Q: 6. Hi is this product usable with my nikon 200 mm ed f4? Can you recommend the best screw on lens in 62 mm that will increase magnification from 1:1? Thanks

A: I have both the b+w NL 2 and 3 for my Fuji 60mm macro. They are Schneider glass so good. They will allow me go work with the 60mm lens now because a straight 1:2 did not give the results I was after. I also tried the Fuji lens that you insert between the camera and the 60mm lens but that really did not work. The lens hunted forever and would start hunting again if anything moved even a millimetre. Hope this helps somewhat. RL
