Close-up Lens 500D (58 mm)

This lens makes macro shooting easy. You can take normal shots
28 to 50 cm (11 in. - 1.6 ft.) between the front of the lens and the
subject with wide-angle and 35 to 50 cm (1.1 - 1.6 ft.) with telephoto
in macro mode.

-

Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58E

This is a lens adapter required for attaching the wide converter,
tele-converter and close-up lens (58 mm thread diameter).

-

Lens Hood LH-DC40

We recommend attaching the lens hood to prevent light from
outside of the screen from entering the lens when shooting with
wide-angle and backlight without a flash.
