Re: Macro advice - 'Close-up macro filter' any good?

They come in +1 dioptre, +2 dioptre, +4 dioptre and +10 dioptre all included. Would stacking work too?

My latest:

This was taken today with my binocular lens, cropped to 2mp then Auto-enhanced in post-production. Would this kit exceed it in quality?

Thanks for helping/reading!

Take care,

Jason
Go for it, Mr. Leeuwenhoek. I love sticking glass on the end of glass, just don't bang them together.
