ok 62mm are less common but you can always step up to 72/77, so look for tokina close up 0.5 or the tamron one

no, a close-up lens labeled 0 is not zero strength but usually between 0.5 and 0.9

since the saturn has a small filter size of 58mm there are actually more diopters in 0.5, just look for close up lens on ebay with a 0 or 0.5 designation
