With its +3 diopters, the near-focusing distance of this close-up lens begins at 33 cm (13 inches) from the front rim, regardless of the focal length of the main lens. When close-ups have to be taken because of the wide-angle effect of a 35 mm lens, the NL 3 close-up lens is ideal for a seamless extension of the normal close-up range up to approximately 1:5.5.
