That's a 62mm thread close up lens. If you have lenses with a 52mm thread, you can get the same strength diopter by getting the 3T....Only problem with the Nikon Diopters is that they are discontinued so only eBay & some camera stores with remaining stock have them & thus supply is limited which drives up prices. The 3T & 5T are the same with the exception of the thread size & the 4T & 6T are the same as well except for the thread size....I have a 4T plus a Marumi (can't remember the strength though) close up lenses that I rarely use...
You can also get " Step-Up Adapter Rings " to use larger filters on smaller diameter filter threads instead of buying multiple diopters. The nice thing about this is when larger diopters are used, there's less edge distortion from the curvature. I believe Canon still produces the 500D (D is for double diopters) series in various diameters.
Like Scott, though I have a couple, I rarely use them and opt for extension tubes or converters to increase magnification instead. Unless you crop, the distortion can become problematic. jmoh
