I am looking for a closeup lens for my 70-200 4L lens, with 67mm

I don't seem to be able to source a 67mm closeup lens for my 60D even though Canon claims to have one.  Is there an acceptible option?

Thanx

You can use a step down ring (72mm-67mm) with a 72mm close-up lens.

However, you should consider investing in extension tubes instead.  They are generally cheaper and without IQ degradation.

For magnification factors and focus distance, check this link out:

I don't know anything about how well they work but besises using a step up ring there are choices available.

Or use one or more extension tubes (no glass - fits between the lens and the body). Allows closer focusing. Canon tubes cost a bit but are excellent quality. Others have had good luck with third party brands.

Thanx for your return. I am leaning toward the Canon 25II exyender but the discussion on closeup filters is

Intriguing. My 70-200 is 67mm so is it better to step up or step down with lens adapter

Thanx

Thanx for your help

If I went from 77mm to 67mm with step down would that work and which ext. tubes do you suggest. Of course Canon is always a bit pricier.
Thanx

I use extension tubes with prime lenses but prefer close up lenses with zoom lenses because with extension tubes your focus changes with zooming. So, if you're really close, whenever you zoom a bit you've got to move your setup to refocus.

Great point Thanx, I think I'll go wit Hoya at this point, any thoughts?
