Close up kit

What I need in the morning

Yesterday I purchased some close up filters (amongst other things) for my 55-200mm lens. The Marumi set contains a +1, a +2 & a +4 fliter. With just a +1 on, the lens goes from having a minimum focusing distance of 1.2m, down to around 0.6m; allowing for some much nicer bokeh (blur) even when the object is close behind the focus.
