Medium Format Compatibility The MacroExplorer lenses work just as well on medium format SLR camera. 72mm and77mm adapter rings are optionally available for this purpose. Large Aperture Lenses Both the 1.5X & 2.5X Macro lenses are designed with large apertures for max. light transmission. Wide-open apertures mean fast enough speeds, even on overcast days.

Useful April 22, 2009
D. C. Eaton (Avon, IN United States)
I have the 2.5x macro close-up lens with adapter, but not the 1.5x. It is possible to attach this macro adapter to a SLR lens(35mm type camera). It easily and quickly clips onto any lens which has filter threads of between 52 and 67 mm. My Sony 50mm f1.4 lens (on a Sony a350 14meg camera) has a close focus of about 18 inches - so it has no macro capability. Once this is attached, I can move up to within about 6 inches. The result is very sharp and clear (at least in the center of the photo). I have also tried it on a Sigma 24mm f2.8 macro lens. It works, but the focus distance gets impossibly small (1-2 inches). Keep in mind 3 things:
1. Depth of field is quite small, even at f22.
2. Once it is attached, you will no longer be able to focus on distant objects. With the Sony 50mm, I can only focus between about 5-7 inches from the front of the lens to the object.
3. There tends to be some chromatic aberration towards the edges of the photo, and only the center of the photo may be in precise focus. Still, it is useful to take photos of insects and flowers when you don't have an actual macro lens available.
