Couldn't be simpler.
Screws on like a filter to the front of a standard (or other) lens.
Rotating dial on the front acts as a variable close up magnifier. These were taken from a couple of inches focusing distance.
Here is the lens attachment on a 50mm Super-Takumar

Taken on a 50mm Super-Takumar.
It has been raining since I took those and I will try for some other images this morning.
Cheers

OK - still raining.
Here are a couple of quick close-ups of a small trinket box lid. Close to 1:1
Once again on 50mm Super-Takumar

I don't suppose there's any reason why an accessory screw on macro lens has to be bad. If it's made to a high optical standard and mounted on a high quality lens surely the combination should work, given that there might need to be some compatibility from the camera lens? And that would be random unless the accessory lens is designed to match a particular lens.
Interesting item Tom, and good results.

Thanks Lloyd.
I have a macro lens so have not even looked at this closely up until now.
And this item was given to me in a box of other bits quite some time ago. I have only just tried it out - rainy days, what to do 
I have checked for these on ebay and they sell very cheaply.
Given the results, I think that it is a bargain for someone who wants to get into close-up and macro work for very little money.
Cheers

I know there are good dioptres to be had, as well as rubbish. Most 'bolt on the front' accessories are generally discounted as rubbish because they probably are rubbish, cheap and nasty junk. But is it possible to make good ones? This one you have seems to be in the 'good' category.

Sure. Two-element achromatic diopters are very nice. Canon still makes them, Nikon stopped about 10 years ago, Minolta used to make them way back in SRT era. |

I just remembered that a while back I hacked up a broken Tamron zoom and made a macro adapter to screw on the front of other lenses, and rather than hijack this topic about the Hoya I've started a topic here
