Hi, I need to know the magnification obtained using close up lenses
(+1, +2, +4 etc diopters) mounted on an 80 mm lens with 6 x 6 camera.
Thanks all

Divide the power of the lens into one meter and that's about how
close the camera will focus with the closeup lens on and the camera
set to infinity.
So, for example, +3 = 1/3 meter or about 13 inches.
The focal length of the prime lens doesn't matter.
