NiSi Close Up Lens Kit NC 77mm - close up lens for 70-300mm lenses

The NiSi Close Up Lens Kit NC 77mm comes with 67mm and 72mm adapters to help you get the macro capabilities out of your telephoto lens, at a surprisingly long working distance. It is compatible with zoom and fixed focal length lenses with focal lengths between 70 and 300mm (in cinema). An affordable way to enter the world of macro, and an interesting world it is. There are whole little universes in your environment. You'll find yourself marveling at the diversity of nature and start to think about your steps in a different way. Well, it doesn't get all hippy-dippy, but the macro imagery is mind-expanding. Macro photography may even develop your other aspects of photography because you think about cropping and other aspects of photography in a whole new way.

A close-up lens is the most effective way to achieve the minimum focusing distance. Macro lenses are of course better in terms of image quality, but the price tag is commensurate.

The magnification factor is at best very close to 1:1 when focusing at 200mm focal length.

When using a close-up lens, it is important to know the maximum and minimum distances at which you can focus, because you can only get a successful image between them. The best working distance is 22-30 centimetres.

We recommend using an aperture of f/8-f/16 with a close-up lens for the most accurate focusing.

The NiSi Close Up Lens Kit NC 77mm is made of two optically corrective glasses with an apochromatic design, and multi-nano coating for good resolution and natural colours, images are almost completely free of purple/green edge colours and in the focus and bokeh range.

Attach to any lens with a 77mm thread between 70 and 300mm.

Includes 67 and 72mm adapters.
