Raynox DCR-250 - Lente Super Macro 2.5x

Comments about Raynox DCR-250 2.5x Super Macro Lens:

Makes close-up work easy and less expensive than buying a dedicated close-up lens. Works best with 55-300 mm zoom lens.Not much effect on standard 18-55mm lens.

This is an excellent macro lens for those on a budget. I am very impressed with the quality of the optics and the results I'm getting. I had read good reports about the Raynox lenses and they were right.

The Raynox 250 should not be regarded as an "accessory", it is in fact a "necessity" for anyone who either just "dabbles" with macro photography, or is a professional. The quality of this product if right up there at the top of the tree, and the simplicity and ease of operation makes it an indispensible and essential photography component. The results that this component is capable is limited only by the users imagination. For Macro photography, I regard it as the single most important asset after the camera and lens.

Nice magnification. I use it with my Canon 100mm Macro lens. It is great, but very difficult to focus. But that is due of my skills.

The Maynox magnifier lens is an easy way to get great macro images without the expense of a more expensive macro lens or having to add more lens to your setup. It's an easy on and off and and allows for some very creative photography.

Purchased to get in closer using my canon 100mm macro. Combined with the canon 100mm macro the drc 250 produces fantastic results and is razor sharp. Probably the easiest way to get in closer with any lens.
Clips straight on the front of your lens after quick assembly of the dcr250. Honestly have been quite blown away by the quality of image.
Read someones comments on shallow depth of field, well thats just part of macro photography.
Easily worth the price no complaints here.

I use Raynex DCR-250 with Keiko autoextension tubes, and I am mostly satisfied with the results. Although I am aware it can never replace a prime macro lense, it is definitely worth the money (at least for someone like me who's new to macro photography).

Comments about Raynox DCR-250 2.5x Super Macro Lens:

I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3 and use this lens to help boost my magnification. I cannot afford to purchase a new macro lens. I have used this great little converter several times and have been quite pleased with the results. It really does magnify your subject.

With my 18-55mm kit lens, I can zoom in to about nine keys on my laptop keyboard. With the addition of the Raynox-250, I can zoom in to about one key! I nearly filled the frame with a U.S. nickel. To say that I was impressed, is an understatement.

Depending on your lens and lighting, you may run into some depth of field issues. But, I think this is to be expected, with any converter lens (and in macro photography, in general).

In closing let me just say... If you are interested in doing some close-up photography and are on a budget and cannot afford an expensive macro lens, buying the Raynox is a terrific alternative. If you have never done macro work before and just want to get your toes wet, without having to jump in completely, you would do well to buy this lens.

This lens does work but the learning curve is very steep. The bokeh is excellent. You do need to use a tripod. I think for a beginner like me it's better to get the DCR-150 and master it first before stepping up to the DCR-250. Its still a case of hit and miss for me. Have to use manual focus because the auto focus can't work with this lens. [...]

i use it on my 100mm macro and it's perfect!
that's the best solution for an extra macro.
not reducing the quality or light as extension tube or close up lenses do.

Comments about Raynox DCR-250 2.5x Super Macro Lens:

while this lens is very conveniently packaged in a little plastic box with covers i found it a hassle to get the lens in and out of the adapter every time i wanted to use it. it would be nice if it came with a cover that could be used while the lens is in the adapter. that's really my only problem with it. i found myself wasting too much time in between shots, fumbling with everything.
also, it does not perform well under low light conditions, so be prepared to use some sort of external light source when using this lens.

I am just learning to use my new SLR camera and my husband bought me the Super Macro Lens. Wow! I can take professional looking closeups with it. It is easy to quickly clip it onto the front of the camera and take some great images!

Comments about Raynox DCR-250 2.5x Super Macro Lens:

I snatched this lens spontaneously thinking that I could play with some macro photography while I wait around for cash to get a real macro lens. That's basically what you can do with this. Quality is obviously not like a real macro lens--medium grade plastic, an awkward lens that screws on to the tension mount which clips to your lens like a pinch lens cap does. I was hoping for a decent result, but I have noticed that there is almost no DOF that really can be used to capture a quality picture. For fun--it is fine. It does work, but it won't allow you to focus like a real macro would. The pictures will not be top-notch, but you can fiddle around to understand macro photography with it while not having laid down[$] for a real lens.
