(1) An attachment lens that fits on the front of a camera lens, allowing photography at closer distances than than normal for that lens. (2) Also refers to a "Macro lens" - a camera lens tha [..]

A supplementary lens fitted to a camera lens that changes the focal length. For close-up work, a positive lens effectively shortens the focal length so that with a given lens-to-subject distance the n [..]

Like a filter, this accessory lens is attached to the front of the lens and allows photography of subjects at short distances. The convex surface of the lens acts like a magnifying glass.

A lens setting on the camera or a lens screwed onto the front of the camera lens which adjusts the optics (in much the same way a magnifying glass works) to allow photographing a subject or object very close to the camera. Because depth of field is reduced with a close-up lens setting, careful focusing is crucial. The Kinoflex has two close-up atta [..]

Sold by filter manufacturers such as Hoya and Cokin to improve the close focusing capability of a lens.

A lens attachment that permits a lens to focus closer that normal. Usually sold in sets of three, with each close-up lens a different strength for focusing at varying distances.

A Close-up Lens is a lens that accentuates the power of the close-up, such as a telephoto or a macro lens. Close-up lenses are typically 100mm or above, and they dramatically compress the spatial relationship within an image, in that objects appear closer than they actually are.

A lens attachment placed in front of a camera lens to permit taking pictures at a closer distance than the camera lens alone will allow. Correction of Aberrations at Close Distance Focusing (or CRC):
