That distance is sometimes given on the filter in millimeters. A +3 close-up lens has a maximal working distance of 0.333 m or 333 mm. The magnification is the focal distance of the objective lens (f) divided by the focal distance of the close-up lens; i.e., the focal distance of the objective lens (in meters) multiplied by the diopter value (D) of the close-up lens:
