I wanted a simple close-up lens kit to use with my Sony ZV-E10 camera which has a fairly unusual 40.5mm external lens thread. This budget priced set from AliExpress seemed to fit the bill. I paid £10.93 for it but the same kit is widely available at a range of prices, brand names and sellers across AliExpress and in 13 filter sizes from 37mm to 82mm.

It took a couple of weeks to arrive undamaged from China and when it did the package contained four lens set plus a storage pouch. The four close-up lenses - rated +1. +2,+4, and +10 dioptres all seemed pretty decent quality, well made from metal with optically good glass lenses. Each lens is marked with the filter size and magnification strength around the edge. The lenses have exterior threads to allow them to be screwed together to obtain higher magnification levels.

The generic pouch is not so good as it is clearly designed to hold much larger lenses and these rather small 40.5mm lenses do have a habit of falling out. That said the pouch itself is reasonably well made from a heavy duty velcro secured cloth with transparent interior pockets for the lenses.

I am very happy with the images obtained from the lenses although if I needed to use them more often I might decide to upgrade to professional quality lenses from a more prestigious photographic brand.

If you need a decent quality set of macro lenses and don't want to pay too much then for the budget price this is a pretty solid buy.
