close up filter definitely can match macro lenses.
that is why people pay good money for macro lenses, when they can do the same thing with a $15-25 filter.......
of course not! you can easily google for the answers....
and yes, a macro lens + close up filter will give you better magnification. but you will have to sacrifice other things for this.
can match??? Or cannot match? I'm confused
as far as I know close up filters are not that good compared to macro lenses
Close up filter vs macro lens...
What are this 2 advantage n disadvantages.
What if close up lens attach with close up filter more magnification?... Anyone can guide noob here?
so i guess close up filter is pretty useless?
I am a nikon d90 user... thinking invest a nikon 105mm macro... i heard 3rd party lens is slower in focusing... is tat true?
Many macro lens now can attain 1:1 magnification but only some filters like Raynox can help to turn your normal lens to macro but not with 1:1 until you stack a few of them. The moment more glass filters are stack together, you can see a deterioration in IQ and will have CA around the edges.
Dedicated Macro lens are invented for a good reason.
Nope magnification of Raynox depends on ur lens focal length, if i remember correctly, can go up to 11:4 times magnification at 300mm (i assume 35mm equivalent). But rather useless at 2.75X maginification cuz of how close u have to get, unless ur shooting dust or something.
Well, I'm not sure how much magnification Raynox can give you on a 300mm so you may be right at that point.
To me, macro lens are built for a reason. More DOF control and 1:1 capability. I will still stack my Raynox when I want greater magnification.
