Wouldn’t have dreamed how amazing these work with my Anamorphot 2.0x - 50. I have had nothing but beautiful images from this combo.

I have used Canon 2-element achromatic close-up lenses (250D and 500D) for many years, and they yield excellent image quality corner-to-corner, better than single element close-up lenses. I got the SLR-Magic 2-element achromatic close-up lenses mainly for the +1.3 diopter, to increase my working distance from 20" to 30" when shooting close-ups of butterflies. However, the lenses were very disappointing, for 2 reasons: (1) The optical quality of the +1.3 diopter, when used with my Canon 200-300mm "butterfly" lenses, was very poor (I didn't test the 0.33 lens). The center of the image was significantly softer than with the Canon 500D, and the edges were downright blurry. Not useable at all for my purposes. (2) The SLR-Magic c/u lenses had a noticeable pinkish-beige tint that threw off the white balance. A custom white balance was needed for every lighting situation. I'm not sure what these close-up lenses were designed for, but I would not recommend them for use on "traditional" cameras. I have returned them to Adorama.
