Macro filter ...sorry

Sorry ..I know I'm like a dog with a bone on this one ..so look away now if your feeling at all drowsy

But after this mornings tete a tete about Macro's did a bit of reading ,I can't really afford a macro lens so I was looking at filters ...I went to a local camera shop and the nice man was showing me his wares all ranging from £20 upwards Then he said ''hang on we've got a box of bargains '' and lo and behold he came up with a Sigma macro filter for a Fiver
I've only took one pic with it ( cos Its dark now ) but I can see the difference and for a fiver it will do me while I'm learning about this stuff

here's the pic -I've not quite got the focus cos it was going dark but I'm really pleased with my bargain

Nice....you can buy them in sets norm +1, +2, +4 and +10.
If I had known I could have posted you one +4, they are okay but you gotta remember the more stuff you put in front of the lens, the more the picture deteriates. Fun to play with though.
