The only corrected pair on this shelf

NiSi ONE achromatic doublet, 77 mm, about 1:1 at 200 mm

One corrected doublet rather than four single elements — apochromatic, coated, with two step-up rings, quoted at about 1:1 at 200 mm, for 139 €.

NiSi 77 mm close-up lens with its two step-up rings and caps

NiSi ONE achromatic doublet, 77 mm, about 1:1 at 200 mm

One corrected doublet rather than four single elements — apochromatic, coated, with two step-up rings, quoted at about 1:1 at 200 mm, for 139 €.

Dioptre strength
NOT GIVEN IN DIOPTRES — and that is deliberate. The second bullet quotes a reproduction ratio instead: about 1:1 when used at 200 mm, on a zoom or prime in the 70 to 300 mm range. A ratio says what fills the frame; a dioptre only says where the glass focuses, and the intro above explains that the same dioptre behaves differently on every focal length
Filter thread
77 mm, with TWO STEP-UP RINGS in the box — 67-77 and 72-77 mm, in the fifth bullet. That is the buying advice above followed by the maker: buy for the largest thread and step down, and two of the rings that the 11 € Belmalia set on this shelf sells eight of arrive with the lens
Element count
TWO, cemented as a DOUBLET, with an apochromatic design, in the first bullet. It is the only corrected close-up lens on this shelf, and the intro above names that as the line that separates the shelf: a single element is a magnifying glass and shows it at the edges, while a doublet corrects colour fringing and costs several times as much for a visible reason
Whether the set is achromatic
YES, and it is the only one on this shelf. The first bullet gives two doubled optical glasses in an apochromatic design; the third gives the consequence, a special design against colour shift said to reduce purple and green borders considerably. The intro above explains the price of that: an achromatic doublet corrects colour fringing and costs several times as much for a visible reason — here 139 € against 20 to 53 € for uncorrected sets. It is also one lens rather than four
Coating described
A NiSi multilayer nano coating, in the first and fourth bullets, credited with improved resolution, natural colour, optimal clarity, easy cleaning and water- and grease-repellency. Named twice, which on this shelf only the 53 € K&F otherwise manages
What a multi-piece set contains
One 77 mm close-up lens, one 67-77 mm adapter ring, one 72-77 mm adapter ring, two lens caps and a pouch, in the fifth bullet. Two caps because a lens of this kind stays on the front of a lens that still needs covering

On the listing

Five bullets. Made from two doubled optical glasses with an apochromatic design and a NiSi multi-nano coating, for improved resolution and natural colour; recommended with zoom or prime lenses in the 70 to 300 mm range, with a reproduction ratio of about 1:1 when shooting at 200 mm; a special design against colour shift, said to reduce purple and green borders considerably; a NiSi multilayer nano coating for optimal clarity and easy cleaning, repelling water and grease; and a kit containing one 77 mm close-up lens, one 67-77 mm adapter ring, one 72-77 mm adapter ring, two lens caps and a pouch.

Two glasses, cemented

The line the intro above draws across this shelf. Three sets here are single elements and say nothing about correction. This one is a pair, designed so that red, green and blue land in the same place.

One to one, at two hundred millimetres

A ratio instead of a dioptre: the subject at life size, comparable with a macro lens rather than with another filter.

Two step-up rings, in the box

Sixty-seven to 77 and 72 to 77. The maker follows its own shelf’s advice — buy for the biggest thread, step down to the rest — and supplies the rings to do it.

Seventy to three hundred millimetres, and not below

A telephoto accessory. On a standard zoom at 35 mm it is the wrong tool, which is the price of a design aimed at one job.

A hundred and thirty-nine euros for one strength

The 20 € Walimex pro gives four dioptres and no coating claim. This gives one corrected pair, a coating named twice, and the reason the difference exists.

More close-up lenses

  • Walimex pro close-up lens set of four filters in its protective case

    Walimex pro Four dioptres, +1 +2 +4 +10, 72 mm

    Twenty euros for the full +1 to +10 ladder in 72 mm, in a case, keeping every electronic function — from a page whose first bullet describes its own effect backwards.

    Dioptre strength
    Four: +1, +2, +4 and +10, in the first bullet. That is the complete ladder, and the intro above explains that the numbers add when two are stacked — so +1 and +2 together give +3, and the four supplied here reach seventeen combinations before the set is exhausted
    Filter thread
    72 mm, in the title and the third bullet, which says they screw onto any lens with a 72 mm thread quickly and need no other accessory. The buying advice above says to buy for the largest thread in the bag and step down, and 72 mm is the largest on this shelf beside the two 77 mm sets
    Element count
    NOT PUBLISHED. The second bullet says high-quality glass elements and nothing more: no count, no doublet, no achromatic claim. The intro above makes that the dividing line on this shelf — a single element is a magnifying glass and shows it at the edges, and only the 139 € NiSi here claims a corrected pair
    Whether the set is achromatic
    NO — nothing on the page claims it. The second bullet says high-quality glass elements and stops there: no doublet, no apochromatic design, no correction of colour fringing. The intro above makes that the dividing line on this shelf, so single elements should be assumed, with the softness at the edges that implies. Only the 139 € NiSi here claims a corrected pair. What this page does claim, in the same bullet, is that no light is lost and no exposure extended — which is true of every dioptre, corrected or not
    Coating described
    Not described at all. The 53 € K&F set on this shelf names a multi-layer AR nano coating and the 139 € NiSi a multilayer nano coating; this page names none
    What a multi-piece set contains
    Four lenses and a robust protective case, in the fifth bullet, credited with keeping the glass safe from scratches, dust and dirt

  • JJC close-up filter set of four in 55 mm with its soft pouch

    JJC Four dioptres, +2 +4 +8 +10, 55 mm

    Twenty-two euros for +2, +4, +8 and +10 in 55 mm — the only close-up set on this shelf that names the lenses it was made for, and the only one with a +8.

    Dioptre strength
    Four: +2, +4, +8 and +10, in the fifth bullet. The ladder is unlike every other on this shelf — it has no +1 and it is the only one with a +8 — which means the gentlest strength here is twice the gentlest elsewhere, and the useful middle of the range is better covered
    Filter thread
    55 mm, in the title and the third bullet, which is the smallest on this shelf. The buying advice above prefers the largest thread in the bag with step rings below it, so a 55 mm set is bought for a specific lens rather than for a system
    Element count
    Not published. The second bullet gives high-grade optical glass in an aluminium-alloy frame, credited with magnifying the image while keeping resolution and clarity. No doublet, no achromatic claim
    Whether the set is achromatic
    NO, and no claim is made either way. The second bullet gives high-grade optical glass in an aluminium-alloy frame and credits it with keeping resolution and clarity while the image is magnified — a claim about the frame and the glass quality, not about colour correction. No doublet and no apochromatic design are mentioned, so single elements should be assumed. The 139 € NiSi on this shelf is the only corrected one
    Coating described
    No coating is named. What the second bullet does claim belongs to the frame rather than the glass: it is said to prevent stray light entering at the edge of the filter, which is a matter of blackened metal and thread depth
    What a multi-piece set contains
    Four filters of different dioptres and a protective filter pouch, in the fourth and fifth bullets. A pouch rather than the hard case of the 20 € Walimex pro or the EVA box of the 53 € K&F

    • Four lenses named on the page, which no other close-up set here does
    • A +8 in the ladder, filling the gap between +4 and +10
    • Fifty-five millimetres is the smallest thread here, so it fits fewer lenses

    Best for: One of the four lenses named on the page, or any other 55 mm lens, where the middle of the dioptre range matters more than the gentlest step.

  • K&F Concept close-up filter set in its four-compartment EVA case

    K&F CONCEPT Four dioptres, +1 +2 +4 +10, 77 mm, nano coating

    Fifty-three euros for +1 to +10 in 77 mm with a nano coating, an EVA case — and the only page here that names the aperture and the focal length to use.

    Dioptre strength
    Four: +1, +2, +4 and +10, in the first bullet, which also says several filters can be combined to increase magnification and that the higher the dioptre the shorter the close range. That last clause is the working-distance answer the other pages leave out
    Filter thread
    77 mm, in the title — the size the buying advice above recommends buying for, because a step ring brings a large filter down to a small lens and costs 11 € on this same shelf
    Element count
    Not published. The second bullet describes highly transparent optical glass with a coating; it claims no doublet and no apochromatic correction, which is what separates it from the 139 € NiSi. The first bullet is candid about the trade: this is macro at a fraction of the cost of a macro lens
    Whether the set is achromatic
    NO — and this page is the one that says so between the lines. Its first bullet calls the set macro at a fraction of the cost of a macro lens, and its answer to edge softness is advice rather than glass: stop down to F5.6–F11, stay at 35 mm or longer. The coating is multi-layer and described at length; the CORRECTION is never claimed, and a coating suppresses reflections rather than colour fringing. The 139 € NiSi here is where the doublet begins
    Coating described
    FULLY, and it is the best coating description on this shelf: a multi-layer AR nano coating on highly transparent optical glass, credited with markedly increased transmission, stray-light-free imaging, effective suppression of flare and ghosting, and an image with no darkening and no colour cast
    What a multi-piece set contains
    A high-density EVA case with four separate compartments, described as shock-, break- and pressure-resistant, plus THREE dust-free vacuum-packed cleaning cloths, in the fourth bullet. The fifth adds a precision-machined metal filter ring and scratch-resistant glass

    Best for: A 77 mm lens used carefully — stopped down, at 35 mm or longer — where the coating and the advice are worth more than the extra 33 €.

Elsewhere in the camera bag

  • JJC trigger set laid out with one transmitter, two receivers and its cables

    JJC One transmitter, two receivers, Nikon release cable

    A 36 € set that fires flashes and releases the shutter, with two receivers, both cables and the batteries in the box — and a compatibility list that reaches back to the F5.

    Radio system named
    None. Five bullets describe the contents, the compatible cameras, the compatible flashes, the dual function and the specifications, and no radio system or frequency appears. What the page does instead is name the hardware it works with on both sides, which is a different kind of assurance — concrete about the present, silent about what could be added later
    Camera mounts supported
    Nikon, named exhaustively in the second bullet — Z9, D500, D4S, D5, D810, D850, D800, D700, D300s, D300, D200, D100, D4, D3S, D3, D3X, D2H, D1H, D2Xs, D2x, D1X, D1, F100, F90x, F90, F6, F5 — plus Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro and S5 Pro and the Kodak DCS-14n. A list that includes film bodies is unusual and tells you what the release cable fits
    Channel and group counts
    16 adjustable radio channels, in the fifth bullet, with no groups published. The same position as most of this shelf: enough channels to stay clear of interference, no means of controlling lights separately
    Remote power control
    None. The set fires flashes and releases shutters, and nothing on the page describes changing a flash’s power from the transmitter
    Metering and sync modes claimed
    Sync to 1/250 s, in the fifth bullet, and no metering or high-speed sync. The fourth bullet claims something else worth having: it can fire speedlights and studio flashes at once, and supports several flashes firing together
    Power source
    Supplied — a 23A cell and an AAA alkaline cell are in the box list, which is the only page on this shelf to include batteries at all. It does not say which unit takes which, and the counts for a three-piece set are not broken down

    • Two receivers in the box, so two lights are covered by one purchase
    • It doubles as a camera remote release, with the Nikon shutter cable supplied

  • Andoer WanSen AC-04 flash trigger set with transmitter, receiver and sync cable

    Andoer WanSen AC-04, 4 channels, 30 m

    The cheapest trigger here at 17 €, with four channels, a 1/250 s sync claim and a cable for cameras with no hot shoe — and no system, no groups and no stated power source.

    Radio system named
    None. Five bullets describe a set, a sync speed, a fit, a cable and a range, and no radio system and no frequency appears — less even than the 433 MHz stated by the trigger above it. What arrives in the box works together, and the page gives no basis for saying what else ever will
    Camera mounts supported
    Canon, Nikon and Sony reflex bodies with a single-point hot shoe, in the third bullet. Single-point means the central firing contact only, so nothing is passed but the signal to fire — and the fourth bullet adds a connecting cable for cameras and transmitters, so a body without a usable shoe can still trigger the set
    Channel and group counts
    Four channels, in the first bullet, and no groups. It is the smallest channel count on this shelf — the trigger beside it offers sixteen — and four is enough to avoid a clash in a quiet room and not in a busy hall
    Remote power control
    None. Nothing on the page describes adjusting a light from the transmitter
    Metering and sync modes claimed
    A highest sync speed of 1/250 second, in the second bullet, and nothing else: no metering, no high-speed sync, no named modes. For a manual studio set that is the honest minimum, and the figure is above the sync speed of many bodies
    Power source
    Not published on the listing. Neither the transmitter nor the receiver has a cell type or count named, which on a two-piece radio set is a real omission — the trigger above it at least states two AAA cells for its receiver

    • Seventeen euros, the cheapest way to get a manual flash off the camera on this shelf

    Best for: Getting one manual studio head off the camera for the least money, on a reflex body with an ordinary hot shoe.

  • Godox X5F flash trigger in black, a small hot shoe unit with a locking ring

    Godox X5F for Fujifilm, Godox 2.4G X system

    A 20 € transmitter that belongs to a named system — Godox 2.4G X — fires the maker’s studio heads by name, and has no power switch and no channel count.

    Radio system named
    The Godox 2.4G X system, named in the title and the third bullet, which then lists what it reaches: the AD100Pro II, AD200Pro II, AD600Pro II, AD600BM II, iT30Pro, V100, V480 and the Lux Master models. This is exactly what the hub above asks for — a system named on the box, with the lights that speak it enumerated, so the consequences of the purchase are visible before it is made
    Camera mounts supported
    Fujifilm, named in the title and listed body by body in the second bullet: X-Pro2, X-T20, X-T2, X-T1, GFX50s, GFX50R, X-T30, X-T4, X-T3, X-S20, X-T5, X-Pro1, X-T10, X-E1, X-A3, X100F and X100T. One camera system, named explicitly — which is the gate the hub above describes, since the contacts behind the centre pin differ between makers
    Channel and group counts
    Not published. Five bullets name the system, the cameras, the compatible lights, the mounting and the battery, and no channel or group figures appear. The cheapest trigger on this shelf publishes 16 channels; this one publishes none, which is the odd gap on an otherwise precise page
    Remote power control
    Yes, but narrowly, and the third bullet is careful about it: used off-camera the X5F can adjust the power of the iT32 only. It will fire other Godox X-system lights and cannot change their power levels. That is a real limitation stated plainly rather than left to be discovered
    Metering and sync modes claimed
    High-speed sync support, named in the first bullet, and TTL in the product description. No sync ceiling in fractions of a second is published here — the flash it partners quotes 1/8000 s — and no metering protocol is named beyond TTL for Fujifilm
    Power source
    A built-in 3.8 V 100 mAh lithium cell that charges only when the unit is attached to the iT32, about 3 hours to fill, giving up to 16 hours of standby. The closing bullet also states there is no physical power switch: status is shown by coloured LEDs, and the charge level appears in the flash’s own menu
