Nikon D90 + Raynox250,
By
This review is from: Raynox DCR-250 Macro Attachment (Accessory)
I thought long and hard before buying the Raynox DCR-250 and I read all the reviews from many sources. I did not want to fork out several hundred pounds on a dedicated macro lens that would only be used infrequently. I had already done some macro work with a lens reversing ring which I was not at all happy with and I had also used the very cheap diopter screw-on attachments which were not as sharp as I would have liked. So I went ahead and purchased this little diamond. I have used the Raynox on my Nickon D90 with a Nikkor 55-200 medium Telephoto lens with great effect. I have tested it on the sharp points of drawing pins, small coins, stamps and even blades of grass, all with excellent results. The Raynox 250 acts just like a macro lens so you will need to practise with it if you are not familiar with Macro techniques. The sweet spot is naturally in the middle of the lens and as with all macro work the DOF is in fractions of a millimetre this is equally so when using the DCR 250 therefor patience and good technique is required. However, once you have grasped the principles then you will be able to experience the wonderful world of "Macro-photography" without laying out £300 for a dedicated macro lens. I have used the cheaper single element diopters in the past but the Raynox is superior to any of the single glass attachments. The quality from the raynox is very acceptable indeed and in fact better than I had anticipated, this is due to the lens construction by using 2-group 3-element optical glass, the cheaper diopters on the market are just one piece of magnifier glass. For the price of this lens you cant really go wrong. I just clipped it onto my 55-200 lens and set it at full telephoto in manual focus and experimented with f11 right down to f29 and focused the shot by moving the camera backwards or forwards using a focusing rail (recommended for all macro work) and filling the frame using the D90 live view. I am extremely impressed with this lens attachment and will be using it for my other macro work. Overall the images were sharp and the shots were acceptable, I love it.

Excellent Macro lens,

I bought this for my Panasonic FZ28. Note you'll also need the adaptor tube LA3 if you don't already have it.
The lens works very well and gives about 3x more zoom than the Panazonic in Macro mode. With the Raynox DCR250 attached the focus is very tight - ignore what the camera says, it will focus at a range between 10cm and 12cm from the object. You'll also get maximum macro at 18x zoom. If you need a good quality macro lens to do close up photography this is an excellent add on and works well with the FZ28.

Excellent macro at fixed distance,

This review is from: Raynox DCR-250 Macro Attachment (Accessory)
Put it on almost any lens and see almost non-distored macro images with a nice bokeh. Using it on a Samsung GX20 (16-45 etc) or Canon 20D (105 EX Macro etc) gives excellent results for peanuts.
