Or give any more explanation of when this would be of benefit to use? It says it screws on like a filter but what kind results does it specifically do? Macro?

That's what I was thinking and same, wasn't sure what results would come out of it. Yep, wanted to know if it would work like a macro lens.

I've heard better things than you'd expect, but I'd recommend extension tubes for getting close if you can't afford a true macro lens right now.

Exactly. Trying to keep my expenses in check.
