Macro filter: how and when to use it?
In this video I'm showing you how to use a macro filter or macro lens, also known as close-up filter. I purchased a macro filter from Hoya. It's a Hoya HMC +4 diopters macro lens. I tested this macro lens with my Fujifilm X-T30 and Fujinon XF 18-55 mm lens at two extreme focal lengths. In my review of the macro filter I show that you can get 1.75 x to 2 x magnification with it and it does not alter the image quality or light metering. In my opinion this macro filter is a very nice addition and highly recommended.
