Comments about Canon Canon 72 Close-up Lens 500D (for Lenses 70mm to 300mm) Double Element:
Excellent optics, well built and typical fine Canon quality. Only disapointment that I could not get that much addtional macro using my Sigma 18MM-200MM lens that I purchased the 500D for so that I would not need to cary a dedecated macro lens when trying to lite. I may try another 500D on my Canon 70MM-300MM telephoto lens. This will require a smaller mount than that of the Sigma lens.

Comments about Canon Canon 72 Close-up Lens 500D (for Lenses 70mm to 300mm) Double Element:
Quick way to get macro shots without the expense of a macro lens. The Canon far surpasses the cheap "close up" lenses--the difference is astonishing. If you use a Nikon, as I do, just get the inexpensive step-up ring.

Comments about Canon Canon 72 Close-up Lens 500D (for Lenses 70mm to 300mm) Double Element:
I bought to use this on a Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. I got very little magnification, it may work on other lenses, but is not worth the price to use on the 18-200mm. I did return it.

The lens itself is built well. I do not find much improvement in close-up magnification.
