Camcorder Filter Lens
Can I put the lens filters?
If I stack FLD, ND and UV filters on my camcorder, it will be effective for the individual, they will cancel each other, or will it be useless?
You can, but you may end up cutting corners of the video because of the extended length of the "pipe" formed by the filters. Each filter will do what it's supposed to do, although you will lose a lot of light in this way. A Cokin filter holder, or something similar, makes use of multiple filters much easier. They are big enough in the stand that they will not cut corners of the video.

If you are interested in macro photography then Canon 500D Close-up lens can be a good introduction to this exciting area without the expense of a dedicated Macro.
The lens attaches to your camera with thread on the filter threads of your standard lens. It is intended to be used primarily with a telephoto lens with a focal length of 70mm-300mm. Canon 500D Close-up Lens works by increasing the magnification of the lens effectively get closer to the subject.
Installation of close-up lens is very light, and during seconds you're up and running. The images taken with Canon 500D Close-Up Lens generally produce very good results, but is not as good as a dedicated macro lens. The add on but is easily to transport and store in your camera bag so if you do not have space for a dedicated macro lens so it is a good alternative.
Canon 500D Close-Up Lens uses a double element, which gives much better results than similar single element add ons, so I would not recommend getting a single element instead of this.
The use of depth of field appeared to be superficial, so the focus could be a little difficult, and the last shot seemed to lose a little focus towards the edges.
There are some things that this lens can do that a macro can not be themselves. For example, attaching the lens to a 70mm-300mm lens allows you to get closer shots when you're still far away from the subject. I would definitely recommend using a tripod, but otherwise camara shake can be a problem.
Should you buy one of these?
If you cannot afford a true macro lens or already have one and want the capability of getting closer in with your zoom lens then I would say yes. Learn more about the Canon 500D SLR and Canon 500D Close-Up-Lens and discover a range of addons and reviews for the Canon 500D.
