NiSi 77mm Close-Up NC Lens Kit II with 67 and 72mm Step-Up Rings
Key Features
  • For 77, 72, or 67mm Front Filter Threads
  • Usable with 70 to 300mm Focal Lengths
  • ~1:1 Magnification at 200mm Focal Length
  • Creates Macro Effect
This NiSi 77mm Close-Up Lens Kit II offers the ability to achieve macro-like results with camera lenses that feature focal lengths from 70 to 300mm and have 77, 72, or 67mm front filter threads. A close-up lens is a magnifier that optically decreases the focal length of a camera lens placed behind it. This effect lessens the minimum focus distance between the camera lens and a subject. Magnification can then be obtained by decreasing the distance between the subject and the combined camera lens and close-up lens. On lenses with or set to a 200mm focal length, this close-up lens provides an approximate 1:1 magnification.

NiSi NIR-CLOSEUP-77II Overview

This NiSi 77mm Close-Up Lens Kit II offers the ability to achieve macro-like results with camera lenses that feature focal lengths from 70 to 300mm and have 77, 72, or 67mm front filter threads. A close-up lens is a magnifier that optically decreases the focal length of a camera lens placed behind it. This effect lessens the minimum focus distance between the camera lens and a subject. Magnification can then be obtained by decreasing the distance between the subject and the combined camera lens and close-up lens. On lenses with or set to a 200mm focal length, this close-up lens provides an approximate 1:1 magnification.

The lens in this 77mm Close-Up NC Lens Kit II is constructed from two apochromatic optical glass elements, which include NiSi Nano coatings for enhanced clarity as well as more effective prevention of internal ghosting, reflections, and chromatic aberrations. Also included are a 67 to 77mm step-up and 72 to 77mm step-up ring set that permits the use of the close-up lens on other camera lenses with smaller filter threads, front and rear caps, and a pouch to store or transport the entire 77mm Close-Up NC Lens Kit II.

  • Apochromatic design
  • Optical glass elements
  • Working distance: 8.6 to 11.8"
  • Multi-nano coating for natural color
  • Minimal purple/green fringing within focus and bokeh

NiSi Close_Up Kit on a Sony RX10V

By John
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-10-13

I was hesitant to buy this for my Sony RX10V Bridge Camera because of concerns about the extra weight on the lens and how well it would work with this lens. It works great but understand what you are buying. Unlike a full fledged macro for a mirrorless/DSLR camera, this setup limits you to close up macro style photography. With the NiSi attached, your camera can only focus between about 11" and 18". Regular macro lenses can focus from their minimum focus distance all the way to infinity. The Sony RX10V lens handles the extra weight with ease. The quality of the macro shots is very good. My camera operated fine with auto focus. My findings regarding macro scale reveal that I could NOT get 1:1 macro but this is a 1" sensor. This sensor is about 13mm wide so 1:1 macro should have a 13mm wide subject filling the frame. Maximum macro ratio was accomplished at nearly full zoom (595mm) and a subject that is 20mm wide fills the photo. By my calculations this is .67 life size. At 300mm 37mm filled the screen. That is about .35 life size. So on this 1” sensor, 20mm wide fills the frame but on a full frame 1:1 macro, 35mm fills the frame – which one is more highly magnified? I believe that answer is neither, but because the full frame sensor has more pixels across, it can display a wider image. NiSi recommends a max focal length of 300mm but I guess with this Sony bridge camera, 600mm works best for maximum macro ratio. A real plus for the NiSi kit is that at maximum macro your subject is 12" or more from the front of the lens. With real macro lenses of 110mm or less, you will have much less working distance between your subject and the front of the lens. NiSi recommends using f8-f16 apertures. This is a good idea as less than f8 results in soft images. However f16 is really excellent if you have the light! As you can see from my photos, I use a flash setup and this allows me to take photos at f16, ISO 100, at 125 second (or any other flash sync speed). In conclusion I am very happy with this on my Sony RX10V camera and it is a real bargain compared to $500-$1000 for a regular macro lens. Just keep in mind that you have to reconfigure your lens each time you want to change from macro to regular photography.

Sharp and an improvement over extensions

By Kenneth
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-23

This review is based on using a Fuji X-T5 with a 70 - 300 mm zoom lens. I'd been using extension tubes for not so serious macro and found them frustrating to use. With this lens I don't see any reduction in sharpness and it's much more usable. Although you still have a limited range in focus I found that if I place the camera body about 18 inches from the subject I can use the full zoom range from 70 to 300mm which gives a magnification range of 0.3 tp 1.0 to one. It's nice to have all that flexibility for composition without having to move a tripod around.

What is the focusing range when using these lenses?
Asked by: Anonymous
The NiSi 77mm Close-Up NC Lens Kit II with 67 and 72mm Step-Up Rings is a close-up magnifier. The focus distance and the magnification will vary, depending on the lens you use it on. When used on a 200mm lens you will get a 1:1 life size image. This is the same maximum magnification as most macro lenses.

On an MIcro Four Thirds camera would the minimum focal length be 35mm or still the stated 70mm?
Asked by: David
The idea behind this lens is that on a 70-200mm lens (or equivalent) it will give you a working distance down to about 8 inches and you will be able to shoot an area as small as about 1" high by 1.5" wide. For a MFT camera, a 35-100mm lens equals a 70-200mm lens on a full frame. Your 35-100mm, or there about, will give the same result. I hope this answers your question. If not, please reply or call our office in Los Angeles, 424-832-7005
