After reading through some posts about achieving a shallow DOF, it seems some people are using close-up filters to aid in their efforts. I have 2 questions regarding to this technique:

1) What kind of close-up filter is suggested? Can I get away with a cheap set such as this...

2) Is the effect any different than moving the camera back and zooming in?

Thanks!

1. You can get away with a cheaper set, such as THIS

2. Yes. Keep in mind that you can only focus on objects that are within a foot or two from the lens.

Thanks!
