CLOSE UP LENS

Using a close-up lens is one of the most powerful and convenient ways to reduce your minimum focusing distance and increase magnification. NiSi offers three high-quality close-up lenses—available in 77mm, 58mm, and 49mm sizes—designed to help photographers dive deeper into the macro world. Each lens delivers a different level of diopter strength and magnification, but they all share same purpose: to unlock greater detail and bring you closer to your subject without the need for a dedicated macro lens.

Close Up and Macro

Reduce your minimum focusing distance and increase magnification without a dedicated Macro Lens

Get Close Up

Close-up lenses let you shoot macro-style detail without swapping to a dedicated macro lens. NiSi Close-Up Lenses (77mm, 58mm, and 49mm) shorten minimum focus distance so you can capture textures, small subjects, and fine detail with more magnification.

Use An Existing Telephoto Lens

Telephoto lenses often can't focus close enough to fill the frame with small details. Add a NiSi Close-Up Lens to shift focus to a much closer working distance—while keeping telephoto compression and background blur. Typical working distances: 77mm 8.5" – 12" (21.6 – 30.5 cm) • 58mm 3.5" – 8.5" (8.9 – 21.6 cm) • 49mm 0.8" – 5.5" (2.0 – 14.0 cm)

77mm Close Up Lens

Turn a telephoto into a macro-ready setup—ideal for 70–300mm lenses. Doublet APO glass + multi-nano coatings help keep detail sharp and color clean. Includes step-up rings for 67mm and 72mm threads, with an optimal working distance of 8.5" – 12" (21.6 – 30.5 cm). Includes caps and a zippered pouch. Optional adapters can expand compatibility to other thread sizes.

58mm Close Up Lens

NiSi Close-Up Lens Kit NC 58 mm features doublet APO glass + multi-nano coatings for sharp, clean close-ups and smooth background blur. With a +5 diopter, it suits 24–250mm (APS-C) or 35–250mm (full-frame), with a working distance of 3.5" – 8.5" (8.9 – 21.6 cm). Includes step-up rings for 49mm and 52mm threads. Optional 62mm adapter expands compatibility.

49mm Close Up Lens

Made for smaller lenses and compact kits. Featuring doublet APO glass and multi-nano coatings, it keeps close-up detail sharp with clean, accurate color. With a +9 diopter, it pairs perfectly with 90mm, 100mm, and 105mm macro lenses, converting 1:1 macro to 2:1—effectively doubling the size of your subject in the frame. Working distance is approximately 0.8" – 5.5" (2.0 – 14.0 cm) for dramatic magnification. Includes protective caps and a pouch for easy carry.

Doublet APO Glass for Clean, Sharp Detail

NiSi close-up lenses use a doublet APO optical design to help reduce fringing and keep detail crisp. Expect cleaner edges, better micro-contrast, and more natural color in close-up shots.

Multi-Nano Coating for Better Contrast and Flare Control

Multi-nano coatings help reduce flare and ghosting—especially useful on reflective subjects like rings, water droplets, and glossy surfaces. This keeps contrast stronger and colors cleaner in close-up light.

One Close-Up Lens, Multiple Lenses in Your Kit

With included step rings (and optional adapters), a NiSi Close-Up Lens can fit multiple lenses in your bag. Carry one compact tool and be ready for detail shots anytime.


Macro Shots Without Carrying a Macro Lens

Perfect for real-world shoots. A wedding photographer can capture rings, shoes, florals, and cake details in seconds—then remove it and keep shooting portraits. Lighter to carry and faster to use than a dedicated macro lens.


Screw On, Get Close, Start Shooting

No complicated setup—just thread it on and shoot. Focus normally, then fine-tune by moving slightly within the working distance for perfect detail and composition.


Macro Focusing Rail NM-180S

Add precision to close-up shots with smooth, repeatable camera movement—great for focus stacking. Features a 180mm rail with 160mm adjustment and a 360° rotating clamp. Includes 1/4" and 3/8" mounts for quick tripod setup.


Quick Adjustment Macro Rail NM-200S

Built for fast framing changes plus fine micro-adjustments. Features a 200mm rail with 180mm adjustment, push-button quick repositioning, and 360° rotation. Includes an integrated Arca-type clamp and plate for quick mounting.

NiSi Close Up Lens FAQs


What are NiSi Close-Up Lenses?

NiSi Close-Up Lenses are screw-on optical diopters that reduce your lens' minimum focusing distance, allowing higher magnification and macro-style images without using a dedicated macro lens.


Which NiSi Close-Up Lens size should I choose??

Choose based on your lens' filter thread and shooting style: 77mm is ideal for telephoto zooms, 58mm is a versatile all-round option, and 49mm is designed for compact setups and high magnification with select macro lenses.

What can I photograph with a close-up lens?

Close-up lenses are great for flowers, insects, textures, product details, food, jewelry, and small objects—any time you want to get closer and fill the frame with fine detail.

Will image quality stay sharp?

Yes. NiSi Close-Up Lenses use a doublet APO optical design and multi-nano coatings to help maintain sharp detail, clean color, and good contrast while minimizing fringing and flare.


Do I need a macro lens to shoot macro?

Not always. A close-up lens is a fast, lightweight alternative for macro-style shots—ideal when you only need occasional close-ups and don't want to carry a dedicated macro lens.


What is a diopter, and what does +5 and +9 mean?

A diopter is the strength of a close-up lens. Higher numbers mean higher magnification and a shorter working distance. For example, the 58mm kit uses a +5 diopter for versatile close-ups, while the 49mm +9 diopter is designed for stronger magnification and select macro applications.

How do I focus when using a close-up lens?

Attach the close-up lens, move into the working distance, then focus normally. For precise results, make small forward/back movements to fine-tune focus—especially at high magnification.

Can I use NiSi Close-Up Lenses for video too?

Yes. Close-up lenses are a simple way to capture macro-style detail shots in video—perfect for product work, nature, and B-roll—without changing lenses or adding complex rigging.
