Filter Set Canon
How do you use a close up filter (AKA close up lens)?
I have a Canon EOS Rebel XS and I wanted a cheap way to take close ups, for example to take a decent picture of a piece of jewelry to sell on eBay. Macro lenses are expensive so I bought a cheap set of close up filters/lenses (I've seen them called both) that screw onto my regular lens. They are basically a magnifying glass. Well, they do magnify the images, but I am unable to get the image in focus even manually. Am I doing something wrong, or are these things totally useless? Is there something special I need to do to get this to work as I would expect?
Half the time you will be moving the camera body. DOF at such a close distance is very limited.
