Lenses:
Part 3: Macro vs. Close-up (continued)
Diopter filters typically come in +1, +2, 3+ and +4 strengths: the larger the number, the stronger the magnification.
While diopter lens are very
inexpensive and make a reasonable alternative for close-up
photography, they tend to be a bit "soft" at the edges compared to
true macro lenses.
I mentioned previously that
there is no substitute for good glass. After using a true macro
lens for the first time I was hooked, and never went back to
standard lenses. With a macro you can shoot from a
distance and still capture tiny creatures.
