I've just bought a Lens Filter - Close Up+2 and never thought whether it would be any use for my camera a FujiFilm S6500fd. Does anybody know whether it would be any use

Strange question to ask after you have already purchased one. I have one I use to reduce the minimum focus distance. Good for closeups of Bees, Butterfly's etc. as you can get a good size image, with the zoom extended, with out getting too close and disturbing your subject. Will also increase the power of your macro shots.

There is a bit of a learning curve with these +2 filters. I have found that setting the focus to infinity (manual focus) and then move the camera to and fro to get the subject in focus works best. I tried auto focus etc. and got too many bin shots. DOF is very narrow so take your time practising on a few fixed objects to get used to it. Have fun, I have.

I have a +4 close up lens now; I have a close-up test chart - will do some experiments for you.
