joshua_doss Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 <p>Recently bought a Yashica Mat 124 and was curious if anyone had any advice about the close up filters? Noticed that as much as I love the camera it isn't super clear closer up. Thanks</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 <p>When I had a Yashica Mat I occasionally used it with a close-up filter. You need to meticulously measure distances and stop down the aperture, use it on a tripod, especially helpful if you have a focusing rail. Clarity was never an issue.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_6502147 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 <p>You do have an option to get a bay attachment to 49mm (I think) or something like that....and you can screw in any manuf filter/shade of your choice. I have one and it overlaps the taking lens quite nicely.</p> <p>Les</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS1664879711 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Get the Rollei bayonet 1 closeup sets with the parallel corrector. Then do ad Stephen Lewis suggests. Only additional suggestion is to use a cable release. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 <p>Some cheap close up filters are pretty poor in quality, so Brian's advice sounds good to me. In my experience the real Rollei close up lenses are quite sharp and worth the money if you're critical about your work.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_marvin Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 <p>Another recommendation for genuine Rollei Rolleinar close-up sets. They're very high quality and a used bay i size shouldn't be that costly.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
