Not too bad shots for a $25 filter.

I must say it's better than I expected. Plenty of fun for $25.

Watchout on the lighting, A bit harsh. Good tryout.

You can use it with your 18-250mm lens. There will be some vignetting at the 18mm end; just zoom in a little and the vignetting will disappear.

Don't expect miracle in the beginning; needs a lot of practice.

You can get +3, +4 and +10 at Cathay Photo or Seng Cheong (Main Agent)

The +3 and +4 is single element ($25)

The +10 is 2 element (approx. $86)

sorry to ask a really noob question, but all these great shots must be taken with a tripod right? :embrass:

i was considering in getting a 14-140mm lens to get some close-ups, but maybe a good close-up filter might just do the trick for now with my standard kit lens?

Shots are taken with tripod, monopod and hand held.
