Product Description
Now you can take close-up shots like you never took before. Opteka proudly presents the next HD10X macro lens. Originally designed for dentists and medical use, the HD10X is now available to the public. Unlike current single element lenses, the HD10X has 4 elements of high definition optical glass that provides unbelievable detail.
Cameras fitted with normal lenses do not permit us to move closer than a certain minimum distance from the object being photographed. The Close-Up lens, which is simply mounted in the front of our normal taking lens, permits the taking of close-ups and also makes possible the photography of details which would be quite impossible without using the Close-Up lens.
The easy to use solution for getting extra close. These lenses enable you to get much closer than the minimum focus of the standard camera lens - as close as 4 inches from the subject. Ideal for cataloging small items and focusing on details.

 Opetka 10x 58mm HD Pro Macro Lens for Canon Rebel December 4, 2007

I absolutely love is 10x HD Macro lens...I have photographed many macro flowers and insects... and they came out fantastic..
Took a little getting used to the moving in and out to focus properly but it was worth the little effort you had to put into it..The image was so detailed you simply would not believe.....I would suggest using it with your smaller lens (ie. 18-55mm lens). I also own another macro/telephoto lens but I still can't the details as with the 10x HD lens.
I would recommemd this additonal lens to anyone who might be considering purchasing... have NO reservations... you won't be disapointed at all.

An awesome accessory to have, if you want to do a bit of macro...
A little hard initially when you want to learn focussing with this lens but as soon as u get a hang of it, this is a fun gadget.
I noticed that if you want to use it with ur 18-55 mm kit lens for canon xti, you cannot go below 24 mm else you get dark corners at very low focal lengths..
but in the ranges above 24 mm it creates awesome pictures..
very good March 3, 2008

I use this for my 35 mm film camera. I was actually quite surprised at the quality of some of the macro photos i've been able to take with this thing. I would recommend a monopod or minitripod for the full 10x shots because holding the camera steady at focus range can be difficult.
The only gripe I could possibly have is that at minimal focal lengths there is some vigenetting, but on most of my photos it ended up making the shot look pretty cool anyways.
I think this lense is proof that you dont necessarily have to spend the big $$$ to get good photos.
Very pleased..... October 1, 2007

....with the macro shots I get and got with the opteka macro lens . Wonderful product for a wonderful price. I might upgrade in the distant future but if I keep getting the results like ive gotten so far I dont see any need to.
Great Lens Saves Money Too! March 5, 2010

This is a great macro lens. It's more like a filter, but that's what makes it so nice to use. It's kind of hard to get used to at first, because you have to manually focus at such close ranges, but on my kit 18-55mm lens with the macro lens' 10X magnification to pull everything in, you're able to get some nice shots.
It came fast and shipped nicely in a well packaged box, that would protect the glass very well if it had to endure any shocks.
All in all I am a very satisfied customer. For only about $30 you can't beat getting this little lens that threads onto 58mm screws. Probably not the best idea for someone who does stricly macro photography, but for someone like me who will use it once in awhile when an opportunity presents itself, I would definitely recommend it!
