Suitable for Fuji 35mm (50mm equivalent) and lengthier focal length lenses, lenses equipped with reduced focal lengths will result in vignetting, the RX100 Quick Change Filter Adapter 49mm should have a 49-43mm step ring S100/S95/S90, a 37mm Filter Adapter will require a 37-43mm step ring.

Anytime taking close-up photographs and you’re hoping to get close up to a flower the minimum focusing distance is the nearest you will get to the subject and continue to obtain suitable focus. Most probably you are going to experience focus problems because of the minimum focusing distance for that particular lens. The Raynox Macro Lens enables you to focus closer and get inside of a few centemetres of the subject.

This significantly enlarges the subject within your frame which in turn makes it possible for outstanding macro shots to be taken incredibly easily. The Raynox Lens is not a dedicated lens, which means it is unable to be connected directly to the camera, it needs to be attached to a lens with a filter size between 52mm to 67mm. The clips connect on to the interior ring on to the front lens element, the lens provides a magnification power of 2.5x.
