Product Description
This Sony Close Up Lens delivers powerful detail and clarity when zooming
in on insects, flowers or any small object. Superior magnification
capabilities enable the photographer to utilize greater shooting
distances, preventing unwanted shadows caused by getting too close to
smaller subjects. Shooting with it in Tele mode puts the background in
soft focus and eliminates color deviation and distortion.

Do not expect this to replace the zoom from your camera. It will not do
that nor was it intended to do so. What it does do is optically bring
things a little bit closer. This is certainly preferably to using the
digital zoom that comes with so many cameras.
The lens works by screwing into the end of the camera lens where filters
would normally be put. This means that it is something which must be
planned for to be used. It is not to be put on while filming is taking
place; it is in place when filming begins. Since it is easy to use, this
should not take too long. The normal zoom of the camera can be used while
this lens is in place. Having it in place just changes the limits from a
little bit closer to what would normally be the case to not quite as far
when the camera is zoomed out to maximum. Care should be taken not to get
this lens cross threaded when putting it in place.
The quality of the optics seem to be fine. I used it on a Sony DCR-VX2100
and had no problems.
This is a handy gadget to have handy in your case but be aware of what it
will and will not do.
