Re: Nikon Kit Lens Macro Modification?

Adding a close-up lens to the front of your zoom lens is another modification to the optics -- you have added an element rather than taking one away. And it doesn't damage the zoom, and it's reversible.

If the kind of image quality shown in the article is good enough for you, you can get a set of four single element lenses for a modest price. They come under various brand names such as Neewer or Polaroid.

If you want very good image quality, get a Raynox 150 or 250, which will cost more.
