I use the D500 close-up lens with my Canon S5 IS for macro and super-macro shots. Images are much sharper than without it. With the camera set to supermacro, I've gotten sharp images from only about 3 inches. On my camera, at least, manual focusing is disabled when using the D500, but that's not much of a problem, as focusing can be adjusted by moving the camera slightly foreward or backward.

Great effect for the price!!

I bought this lens so I would not always have to carry my macro lens with me. I use it on my 70-300mm zoom lens. The macro shots I can get are excellent and I am thinking of selling my macro. You have to move the camera close to the subject to focus then fine tune the focusing with the focus ring on the camera lens.
