Regarding close up filters, I have an additional question. Has anyone
in the list used close-up filters with which they have been pleased?
Some list members have hinted that the Vivitar close up filters are
of a superior optical quality. What in the list members opinion would
be the "best" quality close up filters? Do others like Hoya, Tiffen
or Cokin also have close up filters? I had once clicked a few
photographs with a set of close up filters and the results were far
inferior to those compared to macro lenses.
Regds,
Arnab.
