Neewer Macro and Wide Angle Lens

-

I was clearing out some drawers and came across this amongst the ancient and dust settled digital cameras and an old Minolta film camera!

It comes in two parts and one is a macro lens and the other a wide angle. It seems I must have bought this for my old Canon 300D some time around 2012?  

It's a 58mm thread and fits the 1100D but not the Nikon D50. Simply screwing into the filter ring on the end of the lens. 

The macro part is threaded on both external sides of the ring and so it needs to be used in conjunction with the wide and lens.  The wide angle has internal threads and so won't fit.

I gave it a try today in the garden.  Using the same exposure and the same focal length there is a marked difference between the standard Canon lens and with the Neewer added.

It's plain to see the difference in the two photos.

Will I use it? I doubt it. But it can go in my bag when we are away and I take the Canon instead on the Nikon.

Roadtest - Suzuki VZ800 Marauder

This road-test was originally published in 1997 on the original SOC Geocities hosted website and transferred over here when Yahoo killed off Geocities. When Suzuki offered to let me have the VZ800 Marauder for a week or two to test, I was very happy to have a 'free' bike for the duration of two big runs to the BMF/ACU National Rally and a Suzuki Owners Club Scotland trip. At the southern entrance to Glen Coe  The only factory custom bike I have ever ridden before was an early Yamaha XS400 back in the early Eighties. It had not endeared me to custom bikes! After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...

Roadtest - Suzuki TU250X

(Originally written and published on the old Geocities hosted SOC website in 1997)   With the UK Government thinking of ways to force commuters onto public transport on the one hand, soaking the motorist with the other hand - road tolls, commuting into City tolls, increased in Vehicle Excise Duty on top of another hike in petrol tax, the motorcycle couldn't be better placed to provide personal transport when you want it, in a more 'environmentally friendly' way. So when I was offered the latest addition to the Suzuki commuter range, the TU250X, I was actually quite looking forward to trying a bike that might fit the bill for the beleaguered commuter of the future. During my trips to Spain this Spring, I saw quite a few TU's on the streets in Murcia. Although not as popular as the Yamaha SR250, there were significantly more than you'd see in any UK town. The Mediterranean weather is far more attractive for people to consider biking. Most of the ci...
