Magnification
Customers have mixed opinions on the magnification capabilities of this macro filter kit. While some are pleased with the ability to stack filters for increased magnification, others suggest that a smaller set of lower magnification filters might be more desirable. The majority of customers find the filters provide clear images and enhance sharpness, but a few express disappointment with the highest magnification level.
Autofocus
Customers have mixed experiences with the autofocus of this close-up filter kit. While some report that it works well with their camera's autofocus, others find it difficult to use and prefer manual focus for better results.
Lens Compatibility
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the lens compatibility of this filter kit, with most reporting successful use on various Canon and Nikon lenses, while some encountered issues with focus and thread size incompatibility. Users appreciate the cost-effective alternative to purchasing a dedicated macro lens for their existing lens. However, it's important to note that not all lenses are compatible with this filter kit.
Edge Distortion
Customers have mixed opinions regarding edge distortion of the close-up filter kit.

I like that the lense cap was so thick, and it made for really great macro photos!
Pair of purple flowers are about 1 cm long x 5 mm wide, and are from the weed creeping charlie.
Leave it out in the sun for a couple days before use unless you have fond memories of satan's drycleaner.
Price
So i saved hundreds of $$ using these filters vs.
Great for the money and easy to use
I really didn't want to spend $400-$800 on a macro lens.
For $18 i thought i would give it a shot.
Shipping
They arrived in a day, they fit my camera and gave me the close-focus that i needed.
They arrived quickly in excellent condition and fit my camera exactly.
I needed these quickly and they were inexpensive.
Packaging/appearance
Well packaged and exactly want i read and requested.
As shown slightly in the second photo, the lenses aren't tightly packed in each slot.
Came with the +4 glass loose and shaking.
You get +1, +2, +4, +10 in a nice padded envelope case.
Competitiveness
One slight negative is that the threads on these filters aren't quite as smooth as the expensive b&w uv filter that is on this lens.
