Can you post photos between non-filter and filtered. Just want to see the difference. Thanks.

Without the filter I can't even get it to focus.

Creative. But the contrast is not enough to bring out the subjects.

Any idea how to increase the contrast in-camera? I prefer to get the best result without photoshop.

you need to bring your gears to FRIM this weekend so can ask the macro gurus there. hehe... poisoon..

i think for using a diopter, these are very good indeed. but honestly you should try outdoor shots where light is ample.
