Raynox DCR-250

A whole new world..., 2010-09-10
... a real fantastic point of view.
It really came in handy on a photographic job (close up's of some turf) and I'm still experimenting (using loads of the shots in a patchwork). I wish I had bought one years ago.
so, yes, I recommend it.
Excellent Macro Converter, 2010-08-17
After much research I decided to buy the Raynox DCR 250 and have had excellent results. There is simply no comparison between the pictures taken with the standard camera macro on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 (the zoom needs to be set to wide) and taking pictures using the Raynox DCR 250 (you get the benefit of maximum zoom). The detail and clarity are incredible! I would, without hesitation, recommend the Raynox DCR 250 to anyone interested in macro photography.
Nikon D90 + Raynox250, 2010-07-30
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.

closer and closer still !!!, 2010-07-29
Exactly as expected.
A means of obtaining a close-up at a reasonable cost and with relative ease.
Knowing the alternative being a true macro lens at a cost of approx. £200-£300, that in my experience would not give a better image to the
normal photographer, I have no hesitation in my 5 star award.
Total and unreserved recommendation for this product.
Used on a Fuji 9600 with a 28-300 fixed lens.
