Question: Can it be used with 18-55MM lens in my Canon T4i?
Document: This is the official close-up lens from Canon. It will allow you to focus closer (much like a macro) with your 58mm diameter lens such as the 50mm F/1.4 and can be used on G-series compact cameras (with an adapter)On the f/1.4 it allows you to get much closer focus than without it.
This closeup lens can be used with any 58mm threaded lens. I have even used it on other larger thread lens with a step down adapter, you just need to be aware of possible vignetting.
a close-up of lichens over a rock), the shadowing will ruin the photo, unless perhaps used as an added subtle fill-flash. This is a shame, because with a working distance of 7-10 inches provided by this lens, you could imagine some really great flash photography otherwise. (Normally the problem with flash with point-and-shoot close-ups is it is too bright.
I'm looking for a closeup lens for my Canon EOS Rebel XT. But before buying I wish I can see some pictures taken using this lens.
It has a 58mm outer thread so you can add a clear filter (UV or Skylight) to protect the lens surface. I am using it with a Canon A620 and the required adapter, and it produces outstanding pictures with excellent detail and sharpness.
I bought the Canon 250D expecting it to be a good alternative to an expensive lens. I use it with my E-300 Olympus camera and the 40/150mm lens. It requires a little work to get a proper focus, but when you have it, the results are superlative. I recommend it highly.
I use this lens with the Canon A710IS. It turns out, this is a pretty generic closeup lens (not specific to the Canon compact digicams); it is compatible with a lot of lenses. It works fine with the full 6x zoom on this camera (210 mm equivalent).With natural lighting, this lens gives great results.
I bought a 58mm Canon 250D close up filter for the Canon 55-250mm IS lens and now I have a fantastic macro lens, that is capable of doing 1:1 macro with a working distance of 25cm (~10")! The 250D is roughly 1/7 th the price of the closest 1:1 macro lens with the same working distance - the tamron 180mm 1:1 macro.
This is an excellent add-on close-up lens, not to be confused with the relatively inexpensive 1-2-4 sets sold as aftermarket accessories. This is a double-element achromatic (color-corrected) lens made by Canon and recommended for lenses in the range of 50-135mm focal length. It is very sharp and clear with no color fringing. The "250" indicates the maximum distance to the subject is about 250mm with the main lens focussed at infinity.
I bought this close up lens to use with my Canon T1i and kit lenses. I've only had it a few days. First impressions are good but it's going to take some practice to learn to use. The build is good, nice and heavy compared to a standard filter. So far, I've discoverd that it's easier to manual focus then physically move the camera forward and back to get the clearest photo, instead of trying to auto focus.
Answer: Yes.  This close-up diopter will work.  It has a 58mm thread diameter and can be threaded onto the end of any lens which also has a 58mm diameter (the 18-55mm qualifies -- both the STM and non-STM versions of the 18-55mm lens use a 58mm thread diameter on the front of the lens.)There are a few ways to achieve close-focusing.  One is to use a close-up diopter such as this one... Canon makes a "250D" and "500D" diopter.  The 250D is intended for focal lengths in the 30-135mm range.  The 500D are intended for focal lengths in the 70-300mm range.  You would use the 250D for your 18-55mm lens and zoom the lens to the 55mm end (not the 18mm wide angle end).  The Canon 250D and 500D are a bit more expensive than a regular close-up diopter because they are one of the ONLY companies that produces a close-up diopter that employs an achromatic doublet.  A normal (not Canon's) close-up diopter works a bit like putting a magnifying glass on the lens.  But if you've ever used a magnifying glass to look at text in a book, you'll notice the center looks nicely magnified and good, but at the edges of the glass the text is distorting and showing color fringing (you'll see a blue/red fringe on what would otherwise be black text on white paper.)  The "doublet" configuration uses a 2nd lens element to correct for the distortion caused by the primary element and this provides a better overall image edge-to-edge.  It's a HUGE improvement over the single element design... but it's technically not perfect (under extreme scrutiny you'll notice that the edges don't look quite as good as the center.)Use of close-up diopters is one of the least expensive ways of doing close-up work.The other options are to buy a set of "extension tubes".  Canon's are high quality.  Kenko extension tubes are also high quality.  Other brands get variable feedback.  An extension tube is a ring or cylinder that you attach between the lens and camera body.  It has no glass in it (it has electrical contacts to allow the lens and body to communicate.)  By moving the lens farther away from the sensor, the entire focusable range of the lens is reduced -- allowing for much closer focusing.  You'll notice you can focus at much closer distances but cannot focus out to "infinity" as you can when the extension tube is not being used.  Since there are no optical elements in extension tubes there's no optical advantage to one brand over another.  Mostly it's a question of fit.  Low quality brands tend to have a sloppy fit... the lens might wiggle a little and if the lens isn't held firm.  Kenko sells these as a "set" of three different sizes and they can be stacked.  Canon sells them individually but they can also be stacked.The third option is by far the highest performance and quality, but also the most expensive... that's to use a dedicated "macro" lens.  The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM is an outstanding lens... I think it's the best bargain in the entire EF-S lineup.  This lens has extremely good image quality (contrast and resolution are well above the average lens and even compete well with the contrast and resolution of Canon's L series macro lenses.)   It costs around $400 -- which may seem high, but that's really an excellent price.  The Canon 100mm f/2.8L ("L" series) macro lens is about $900.  While that lens is weather sealed and has hybrid IS, the optical image quality is "about the same" as the 60mm macro.A "true" macro lens allows for a 1:1 image scale.  That means the size of the object in "on the sensor" is the same as the size of the object in "real life".  Imagine taking a photo of a US penny (about 19mm diameter).  Your camera has a sensor which is about (I'm rounding here) 14mm tall by about 21mm wide.  That means at closest focusing distance you can fit the penny in horizontally, but vertically part of the penny will be cropped off -- that's pretty close!  A true macro lens will also let you focus all the way out to infinity just like a normal lens.
