Best Close-up +5 for macro

Post by tomek770101 »

Hello,
I need the best CLOSE-UP +5 diopter lens. Has anyone tested and knows what is the best? Only +5 no 4.8 (raynox150)

Why are you making a distinction between 4.8 and 5?

I have been running lots and lots of diopters lately looking for a good +4 but I have also ran lots of +5s.

So far, the Sigma has the least amount of CAs in the corners. In my experience they are much better than Raynox as tube lenses.

I am trying lenses out now and hope to do a real +5 diopter test sometime soon to find something better that the Sigma but so far, I have not seen anything that will beat it.
