Product Description
This Sony Close Up Lens delivers powerful detail and clarity when zooming in on insects, flowers or any small object. Superior magnification capabilities enable the photographer to utilize greater shooting distances, preventing unwanted shadows caused by getting too close to smaller subjects. Shooting with it in Tele mode puts the background in soft focus and eliminates color deviation and distortion.

 Useful Within Limits June 28, 2005

Do not expect this to replace the zoom from your camera. It will not do that nor was it intended to do so. What it does do is optically bring things a little bit closer. This is certainly preferably to using the digital zoom that comes with so many cameras.
The lens works by screwing into the end of the camera lens where filters would normally be put. This means that it is something which must be planned for to be used. It is not to be put on while filming is taking place; it is in place when filming begins. Since it is easy to use, this should not take too long. The normal zoom of the camera can be used while this lens is in place. Having it in place just changes the limits from a little bit closer to what would normally be the case to not quite as far when the camera is zoomed out to maximum. Care should be taken not to get this lens cross threaded when putting it in place.
The quality of the optics seem to be fine. I used it on a Sony DCR-VX2100 and had no problems.
This is a handy gadget to have handy in your case but be aware of what it will and will not do.
 Excellent lens for the price January 10, 2007

I have had this lens for about two months and I love it. It allows me to get really close to subjects. You can even have the subject touching the lens and still be in focus. The lens is of great quality.
Amazon was the least expensive site I found for this product. Great shipping and tracking.
I highly recommend this product to all DSC-H1 or H2 or H5 owners.

I am very pleased with Sony's Close up ring. There was far less distortion than using the cheapie close up lens on the market.
Workable substitute for MACRO lenses February 12, 2007

The two-element close-up lens on a digital zoom lens pretty effectively replaces a very expensive MACRO lens. This is an excellent workaround and results are very good. Do NOT confuse this item with a standard single element closeup lens (or set). It is a two element lens and worth every penny in lieu of the several hundred dollars you might have to spend on a true MACRO lens.
Best Value Of All Achromatic Close-up Lenses! June 9, 2007

I have been using the M3358 with a Pentax telezoom (58mm filter thread)with excellent results. This top quality lens is very bit as sharp and well-made as the Canon 500D and Nikon 6T, at almost half the price! It has very nice multi-coating and is made in Japan. Anyone using a lens with 58mm filter thread should consider buying the M3358 instead of paying more for the Canon or Nikon equivalents. The color rendition and distortion control is top notch!
