Re: Raynox DCR-250 Macro Lens

Pound for pound they're a good option for macro work - I've used the 150 which is a bit less 'magnified'. I've seen some amazing results from people using these and unlike a lot of 'add on' solutions - they're held in high regard.

Thats interesting to hear as most 'add on' lenses don't seem to achieve high quality. I was quite tempted by a screw on fisheye but figured that I would never be satisfied by the clarity.

I look forward to seeing what you do with it NS.
