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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"features\"\u003eGlass and coating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchott glass:\u003c\/strong\u003e B+W uses Schott optical glass in this close-up lens.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × B+W VZL 3 55 E close-up conversion lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: B+W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: VZL 3 55 E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Close-up conversion lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDioptre: +3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter thread: 55 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass: Schott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoating: Single (E), anti-reflection treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter ring: F-Pro brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 40 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B+W","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453483721044,"sku":"76234BWF","price":25.41,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/76234BWF_01.jpg?v=1791321362","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/products\/b-w-vzl-3-55-e","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
