B+W VZL 3 55 E
B+W VZL 3 55 E - +3 dioptre close-up lens
Bring small subjects closer in the frame for detailed pictures of petal edges, product features and textured surfaces. The B+W VZL 3 55 E is a +3 dioptre close-up attachment lens that reduces the minimum focusing distance of your camera lens, creating a macro-like view without changing the lens itself. It fits lenses with a 55 mm front filter thread, so it’s a straightforward way to add close-up capability to a compatible lens. The +3 strength gives a clear, defined close-up effect: useful for showing fine details in flowers, capturing small objects for a catalogue, or making the pattern on a material more prominent. Schott glass and an anti-reflection treatment address optical clarity and internal reflections, while the F-Pro brass ring is made for durable everyday attachment. At 40 g, the lens adds little weight to your camera setup.
Glass and coating
- Schott glass: B+W uses Schott optical glass in this close-up lens. It’s selected for optical clarity, an important consideration when a small subject fills more of the picture.
- Anti-reflection treatment: The glass surfaces receive an anti-reflection coating to reduce internal reflections and ghosting that could distract from the close-up subject.
- Single-coated version: The “E” designation identifies the single-coating version. This is a useful detail when you’re choosing between versions of the close-up lens.
- F-Pro brass ring: The filter ring is made from brass. Its construction is intended to improve durability and reduce the chance of the ring sticking when attached.
- +3 dioptre strength: The close-up power is rated at +3 dioptres. Higher dioptre values create a stronger relative magnification; close-up lenses can also be combined to alter the effect.
- 40 g weight: The lens weighs 40 g, so it adds a modest amount of weight when attached to the front of your camera lens.
Specialist Note
A lens that can’t focus close enough leaves small details frustratingly tiny in the frame. I’d consider this B+W when you want to bring out the markings on a small object or the fine structure of a flower: attach it to a lens with the matching front thread, then bring the subject closer until it comes into focus. The +3 dioptre rating gives you a defined close-up effect rather than a variable one. I also like the brass F-Pro ring; it’s a durable choice for an accessory you’ll fit and remove. For a different close-up effect, B+W lenses can be combined, though this one is a fixed-strength attachment.
