10x High Definition 2 Element Close-Up Lens 62mm - Macro

Our review looks at the 10x High Definition 2 Element Close-Up for Sony FDR-AX700, a simple screw-on macro diopter intended for photographers who need fast, close-range capture without swapping lenses. The bottom line: this close-up lens is best for videographers and still photographers using a lens with a 62mm filter thread who want a lightweight, high-index glass solution to get markedly closer focus while preserving the camera lens optical performance. It is a straightforward accessory that delivers sharper close-ups than cheap single-element diopters and keeps autofocus and infrared compatibility intact.

Key Features

• +10 Close-Up Power: Enables strong macro magnification for small subjects without changing your main lens, making close-focus framing much easier.
• Two-Element Achromatic Design: The paired high-index / low-dispersion elements help correct chromatic aberration for clearer color and edge detail at close distances.
• Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Multi-coating and anti-reflection layers reduce flare and ghosting for better contrast and more usable detail in bright conditions.
• Threaded Mount: Screws onto any lens with a 62mm filter thread for instant mounting and removal, keeping setup time minimal on shoots.
• Autofocus & Infrared Compatible: Works with high speed autofocus and retains infrared compatibility so focus systems and exposure metering remain functional.
• Beveled High Definition Finish: The beveled design contributes to predictable image rendering and easy handling when mounting or storing the accessory.

Who It's For

This close-up lens is aimed at content creators, macro hobbyists and documentary videographers using the Sony FDR-AX700 or any camera setup with a 62mm front thread who need a compact way to achieve strong close-focus magnification. It is particularly useful when lens swapping is impractical or when a light, low-cost macro option is needed on location.

Photographers who require absolute microscope-level resolution or who demand the fastest working distances from specialized macro objectives should look elsewhere; dedicated macro lenses and extension tubes still offer superior working distance control and optical performance for the most demanding studio work.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-index, low-dispersion two-element design reduces color fringing compared with single-element diopters.
• Fully multi-coated and anti-reflection surfaces improve contrast and reduce flare in bright scenes.
• Screws onto 62mm threads for immediate use without modifying the camera or lens system.
• Maintains high speed autofocus and infrared compatibility for reliable operation on modern cameras.

Cons

• As a +10 diopter, working distance is short, which can make lighting and subject approach more challenging.
• Not a substitute for a dedicated macro lens when the highest image quality and extended working distance are required.

Our Verdict

The 10x High Definition 2 Element Close-Up for 62mm lenses is a cost-effective, well-made macro accessory that brings appreciable close-focus capability to compatible setups. It is especially good value for users who need quick, reliable macro performance without swapping lenses, thanks to its achromatic two-element design and multi-coatings. Choose this if you need strong magnification with preserved autofocus; opt for a dedicated macro lens if you need longer working distance or ultimate image quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my lens?
It fits any lens with a 62mm filter thread; confirm your lens thread size before purchase.

Does it affect autofocus?
The design maintains high speed autofocus compatibility, so autofocus should continue to function on supported camera systems.

Is chromatic aberration reduced?
Yes, the two-element achromatic design with low-dispersion glass helps control color fringing compared with single-element diopters.
