138mm +2 diopter close-up lens

This Tiffen 138mm Close-up +2 Lens is a screw-on optical accessory that lets photographers focus closer than their primary lens normally allows. It suits macro enthusiasts, product shooters and anyone needing extra magnification without swapping to a dedicated macro lens. The 1.0 pitch thread mounts directly on compatible 138mm front threads.

ColorCore glass for clarity and transmission

ColorCore glass construction maintains resolution and minimises distortion while preserving light transmission across the frame. The 5mm thick element adds negligible bulk and does not introduce electronic contacts, so autofocus and exposure automation continue to function normally. No power draw or heat is generated.

Steps up from cropping or extension tubes

The +2 diopter replaces heavy cropping in post or bulky extension tubes that reduce light and limit infinity focus. It is worth the jump when you need full-frame detail at closer working distances but do not want the cost or size of a dedicated macro optic. Not for shooters whose lenses lack 138mm filter threads or who require magnification beyond what a +2 diopter provides.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 138mm Close-up +2 Lens to my camera, and what step is often missed?

Screw the lens onto the filter threads using the 1.0 pitch thread; the step people miss is cleaning both the lens and camera threads first to avoid cross-threading or light leaks.

What maintenance will the ColorCore glass on this 138mm lens need over time?

Clean the glass with a microfibre cloth and lens solution when dust or fingerprints appear; the ColorCore construction has no coatings that degrade, so no periodic replacement is required.

What optical limit appears first when using this +2 diopter lens for extended macro sessions?

The +2 diopter fixes the working distance, so the first limit is the shallow depth of field at close range; stopping down the camera aperture is the only way to increase it.
