Vivitar Series 1 1 2 4 10 Close-Up Macro Filter Set w/Pouch (67mm), Black, 8.2 x 4.4 x 1.2 inches, (VIV-CL-67)

I bought these for my Sirui Mars anamorphic set, and the instant I tried them my mind was blown. Minimum focus distance on a 75mm - 4 feet, can now be measured in inches. I can get shots that I never dreamed of before. Truly a gamechanger for anamorphic lenses.

Considering that this set goes for less than a roll of 36 exposure film with processing and prints, what's not to like? If I was a professional, I'd probably go for something a little higher end; (although I don't imagine more expensive ones would be any better) or more likely use a set of extension tubes or bellows. But if your aim is just some cool pix of bugs and stuff in the yard, you really can't beat these.The lens that the picture of the bee was taken with is a Phoenix 28-210 f/4.2-6.5AF for Pentax on a Pentax K-R. I had to crop it because the file was too big... I was in a hurry so I just accepted the default frame. I'm guessing ½×½, but I'm not sure.

Work as expected and useful for close up shots with a Sirui anamorphic lens. However 1 of them has loose glass in the metal ring.

These diopters arrived today and I had to try them out right away. I wasn't expecting much for the price but was pleased with the results for the amount spent. I had trouble finding information on how much magnification I could expect with a given diopter so this was an experiment for me. I have attached some photos of my results. The five photos include a shot with each diopter plus one with no diopter. All photos were shot with a 100 mm Macro lens at f/16. The approximate horizontal FOV with each diopter and the lens alone (+0): +10 = 10 mm, +4 = 15 mm, +2 = 18 mm, +1 = 20 mm, and +0 = 21 mm.

I bought these for my Hasselblad H2 and I LOVE them! They are easy to focus with and the photo's I have taken look great! The photo is using the x10 magnification lens shot on Kodak Portra 400 film.

Apparent that it had been opened. I've bought Vivitar lens filters before and they were fine, but this one arrived in a resealed box and was missing the 10x filter. 4x didnt even have the plastic.

These were perfect for what I needed them for! I just can't justify buying an expensive macro lens just for my ring shots at weddings and this worked beautifully on my 35mm lens. The photo attached was with the 10 and 4 stacked together if I remember correctly. The trick is to have f10 or more and get very close. It took me a few tries to figure it out lol, but they are perfect for the 5 mins I need them. And takes up less room than another lens.

I am so happy with these!! I got them for newborn photography and they work great, just remember you really need to close your aperture on these so you have things in focus. So unless you have a full frame they might not be the best choice for you. This picture was taken with a 10 and 4 screwed onto my 35mm lens 😊
