Re: K&F Concept $13 Close-up filter kit samples with NX2000...

Thanks for sharing  I have a Canon 500D +2 diopter "filter" lens in storage--considering trying it out when I get a 50-200mm lens.  I used to use it very successfully with my old Panasonic superzoom bridge camera.  Lately I realized the power of high resolution and cropping for close-ups--not true macro.  I had better images after cropping with my Nikon D5200 + 35mm f/1.8 prime lens than I did at full 600mm equivalent + Canon 500D with Panasonic.  Still, can't improvise 1:1 macro like that, so these "filters" can help.  I guess the cheap ones usually aren't multi-coated and can result in lower light transmission and reduced contrast, but as long as results are satisfactory, it's all good!
