Specialty glass; does what I needed - close focus for copying 35mm slides - really well, but it has limitations. Mounted on a 50mm Voigtlander lens (minimum focus .45M), at near focus 42x28mm subject fills the frame; at far focus the frame only opens to a 54x36mm subject, with a bit more distortion and not much farther away. Quality is very good, need to stop down to f4 or greater to get full frame sharp. Made in Japan.

How can you enhance your photography experience The 49mm +10 Macro Lens, Close Up Glass Filter - NL10, expertly crafted in Japan, is a high-quality optical magnifying lens designed to reduce the close-focusing distance of your camera lens. This allows you to get closer to your subject than ever before, achieving a larger image scale for detailed and immersive shots.
This B+W close-up lens is a specialty glass that excels in tasks such as close focus for copying 35mm slides. When mounted on a 50mm Voigtlander lens with a minimum focus of .45M, it can fill the frame with a 42x28mm subject at near focus. Even at far focus, the frame expands to accommodate a 54x36mm subject, albeit with a slight increase in distortion.
The lens boasts a diopter of +10 and a 100mm focal length, making it ideal for capturing life-size to somewhat larger than life-size images in the 35mm format. The quality of the lens is exceptional, but for optimal results, it's recommended to stop down to f4 or greater to achieve full-frame sharpness.
Please note that the NL10 Close-up lens is not front threaded and is not designed to be used in conjunction with other close-up lenses. This lens is a standalone product that delivers superior performance and enhances your photography capabilities.
