The Heliopan Bay 1 Close-Up +3 Lens is a convex diopter designed to decrease the minimum focus distance of any lens in order to produce a shorter working distance for close-up photography. Available in varying strengths, close-up lenses also feature Bay 1 front filter threads for combining two or more filters to fine-tune results.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Q: 1. 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

Q: 2. This will solve the field curvature of the CV 35 mm 1.7 on mirrorless cameras?

A: We are not sure of what lens you are asking about. Maybe the Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens (Black) B&H # VO3517K? Also we are unaware of a close up lens ameliorating lens aberrations. Indeed we only know of them introducing them. In order that we may further assist you, please write us sales@bhphoto.com.
