Telesor is or was a marketer of various relatively generic stuff, but often decent enough. If you're using an SLR, you can easily determine how useful they are by putting one or more on the end of a lens. Diopter lenses tend to distort a little more than an extension tube, but they have the advantage that they do not diminish the light, so they're useful when you need better light, or if you don't want to fuss with meter compensation. And of course, they're also very portable and compact. If you're shooting flowers or bugs, or other subjects that do not have straight lines, and don't go all the way to the frame edge, the distortion is not usually a problem. You can stack them too, to increase magnification. Try them. You may be pleasantly surprised. A bargain at the price; the little leather case is probably worth a buck anyway! |
