Review on Neewer 49MM Lens Filter and Accessory Kit for Sony Alpha A3000, NEX DSLR Cameras - UV CPL FLD Filters, Macro Close Up Filter Set, ND2 ND4 ND8 Filters, Pouch Cap Hood included by Tim Airy

As an aspiring photographer like myself, I'm always trying to find new ways to be more creative with my shots. This kit does just that. I shoot on a Canon EOS Rebel 7 with a Canon 50mm f1.8 STM lens. He takes incredible photos, but I wanted something more. I needed a lens for very close-up shots, but I didn't want to spend $300 on a macro lens. I studied these "close-up filters" and decided to give it a try. They are also called dioptres or magnifying glasses! They are available in 1x, 2x, 4x and 10x magnification. Setup is easy, but be very careful. I messed up by spinning the filter too hard causing it to get stuck. After learning a few tips from YouTube, the solution is simple. First, don't turn it all the way. Second, if it gets stuck, put on a latex glove, twist it, and it pops right out! It should be noted that this filter works. This is a 49mm filter that fits 49mm lenses. What I mean? Remember I said I have a 50mm lens? Well, inside the outer ring you will see a number followed by a zero followed by a slash. This is the thread/filter size. If yours doesn't match what is written on the product, it won't fit. Haven't I disturbed you yet? Okay, let's talk about other accessories. You get a nice ton of filters, an extra lens cap and a very pretty package for all the filters. Excellent packaging. Each of these filters will dramatically transform your photos. I can't explain what everyone is doing but I just posted it on YouTube. The price is great and let me tell you it won't disappoint. When using close-up filters, the level of detail is insane. Plus, these filters are stackable! If you do 1x, 2x, 4x, and 10x in that order, that's a 17x increase! I suggest using manual focus for any filter size, but auto mode works with photos and videos. When I have time I will upload pictures taken at 10x magnification only. It's breathtaking. I photographed the water flowing out of the tap. I set the camera to f11 with flash and 10x macro. Not only did he freeze the water, he literally showed the bubbles that make up water! You won't be able to see it with your own eyes, folks! This set will change your photography game forever. Good luck and have fun! Rating: 10/10
