Close-up photography often fails when edges soften and colours shift under mixed light. Bold Kase MC Close up +2 Macro Lens promises sharper, low-colour-cast close-ups while making filter changes and caps straightforward. Is it the right add-on for photographers who need a weather-tough, adaptable macro solution?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Image Quality: Sharp across the frame with minimal distortion and reduced chromatic aberration
- • Best for: Photographers using 77mm kit who want an easy macro add-on
- • Not ideal for: Those seeking a dedicated interchangeable-mount macro lens
Magnetic-front, add-on +2 macro for 77mm threading, supplied with 67mm-77mm and 72mm-77mm step-up adapters. Waterproof, scratch-resistant nano coatings on both sides with optics tuned for low colour cast and edge-to-edge sharpness.
Edge-to-edge sharpness – thanks to High Quality Optics
High quality optics minimise distortion and chromatic aberrations, maintaining sharpness through the image and including the edges. Optical design focuses on preserving fine detail in close-up subjects.
Sharper detail across the frame helps capture texture and fine features of flowers, insects, and small products when working at short distances.
Filter and cap flexibility – with Magnetic Front Frame and 77mm threading
Magnetic front frame is compatible with Kase Revolution and Skyeye magnetic filters and also accepts 77mm screw-in filters and non-magnetic lens caps. Two step-up adapters convert 67mm and 72mm threads to 77mm.
Quick magnetic filter swaps speed up shooting on location while adapters let the add-on work with a wider range of lenses.
Weather-ready protection – thanks to Waterproof Nano Multi-Coating
Waterproof nano multi-coating is applied to both sides of the glass and coatings are described as waterproof and scratch resistant. Coatings reduce water adhesion and help guard the optical surface.
Coated surfaces stay clearer in damp conditions and are easier to wipe clean after outdoor shoots, increasing reliability in changeable weather.
