Review: Good - Product quality is good.. But not yet used.. will give full review after used..
Review: Very good work around alternative for a MACRO lens - Its worth if you have patience and want a frugal alternative of MACRO lens... Frugal because its way less costly than a proper MACRO lens and You need patience because due to narrow DOF (at higher zoom) and moving subject, you have to take multiple shots to get satisfactory Image. Offcourse you will need a Tripod and an ample light source (in order to widen the DOF, we need to shorten the aperture size thus we need pretty good amount of light, but that holds true for a macro lens too) My Observation : I used this snap on Lens on my 50mm prime and 18-135mm all in one lens. With 50mm it worked well but didn't get much magnification so I used extension tubes. 7mm extension tube + 50mm + Tripod + Good Light + static object = nice results With 18-135 mm, @135 I observed some vignetting as the lens thread is 67mm (wider than 50mm lens), I think It should work well with any P&S ultra zoom camera and any DSLR lens having 150+ focal length. Lens is good in the terms of use and optical quality, easy to clip on my 52 mm and 67 mm lenses. Pros- 1. Easy to use 2. Nice optical quality Cons- 1. Vignetting at small focal length. Ideal for 150+ zoom lenses

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What range/zoom does this give?**
A: Hello;This is an 8 diopter lens. A diopter changes the focus range of your lens. Diopters come in powers from +1 to +5 (that I've seen). They're also stackable: you can put a +4 diopter on top of another +4 diopter, and conveniently that gives you the effect of a +8 diopter. (Quality does suffer when you stack.) The higher the number, the more powerful the diopter. The more powerful the diopter, the closer you can focus. Specifically: divide 100 centimeters by the diopter power. That's the maximum focus distance of the diopter. A +5 diopter focuses at 20 centimeters or less. A +2 diopter focuses at 50 centimeters or less, so an 8 diopter lens would focus around 13 centimeters or less. Hope this helps. Remember, this lens works when you are in full telephoto.

**Q: Would it blow my mind with quality if mounted on the already amazing Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens**
A: Rather than this, if I want to get closer than my macro ring allows I use some extension rings.  They allow closer focus but add no extra glass to go through. I have a different brand I purchased for the same amount, so something like this  http://www.amazon.com/Movo-Extension-Mirrorless-Compatible-Blackmagic/dp/B00GSCJU3M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1396737657&sr=8-3&keywords=vello+extension+tube

**Q: It work with a  lumix 18x = panasonic dmc fz28?**
A: Please check your Panasonic DMC FZ28 manual. I think the lens size for this camera is 43mm. The Raynox DCR 250 has a diameter that is also 43mm. So one would fit right in front of the glass on the lens, even without the need of the adaptor that is supplied. If the camera lens diameter is different in size, it's no problem to fit, using ring adapters that can be easily obtained.

**Q: can i use a step up ring and what size?  i don't want to use the spring loaded clip so I just want to attach it with a step up ring.  My lens is 49**
A: I have no idea where to find a step up/down ring between 43-49/49-43 mm range. The spring loaded clip attaches to the lens end tightly, and I have never experienced  the DCR-250 disconnected by its own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am Loving it
*by S***Y on 27 August 2020*

Thank you for letting me venture into the world of macro photography. Thi product is amazing, no wonder i can see so mamy photographers use it. It fits on lenses with filter size ranging from 52mm till 67mm, which covers almost all my lenses, especially on 85mm and 55-300mm thar i have is giving amazing reach. You can reduce min focal distance of all lenses considerably also the image is further zoomed in. So with 300mm i am able to get close as well as get an effevtive focal length of 300mm x 1.5 crop factor of my body x may be 2.5x zoom by Raynox, incredible. One thing I obserbed while using with 18-140 Nikon is that there is heavy vignetting but there is a trick to reduce it, take the focus to manual and get it to infinity, it will still focus close but you can move yourself back from the subject a bit to get it in focus but without the circular vignetting. Also there are significant colour fringing observable at highlighted area but that is ok, i am getting what i payed for. Autofocus works accurately even at low aparture no issues there, but macro is easier I guess focussing manyally and moving yourself to get intended focus. Overal am overjoyed with the purchase. Amazon packing and delivery is good, delivery has become even faster these days during Covid lockdown. Amazing guys kudos to you all
