That's a pretty handy piece of kit!

How did you minimize the blue saturation?

how close do you have to be to the coral to get these shots?

I didn't edit at all...pics were taken under T5's.

I took the pics through a coral viewer. Picked them up and brought them pretty much right up to the lens.

I bought this same one for my iPhone 5s. Lens is perfectly clear with the fishbowl Len but when unscrewing it for the macro, it is blurry and won't focus. Did it work for you right out of the box? Any pointers?

When using the macro lens you need to be right up on the coral. I use a coral viewer and bring the corals up to the lens. All the shots on this thread are taken no more than 2" away from the macro lens.

They make magnetic ones that I suppose would work for an iPad. Go to eBay and search iPad macro lens and you should find it.

Wow these are great, what coral viewer do you use?

 

[ReEfErAdDiCt86]

Thanks. Just a homemade topdown viewer that you see in the fish stores. I took some scrap acrylic I had and siliconed them to make a little box that floats on the top of the water. You can buy them tho just search in the popular online stores.

I just bought this same lense. I really like it. No coral shots yet but I'm excited. Got it for $4.25 with free shipping.
