From what I have seen, it seems to be an excellent lens - better than the 70-300ED I have. There is a review here http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showp...hp?product=992

If I was going the close up filter route, I would buy one good two element close up lens like the Nikon 6T or Canon 250D rather than a set of cheap single element lenses.

I have them and used them until I got a Macro lens. The performance was identical to the post earlier in this thread.

If you look at the 2 pictures Kieth1200rs posted in the first and second message of this thread that is almost exactly what I saw with them. If I get time in the next few days I will break them out and get a few examples. I have taken many pictures with them over the years on other cameras where a dedicated macro was not an option. i think they are worth what you pay for them if you don't have a dedicated macro lens.
