The DCR-250 Super Macro lens obtains the maximum macro magnification power with the camera lens set at the most telephoto zoom position. The lens is made of high index optical glass, which produce rich and razor sharp image. The lens includes a Snap-on universal mount suitable for 52mm to 67mm filter sizes.

The Raynox DCR-250 is one of the best and most affordable ways to enter the world of super macro photography. DCR-250 is a small but powerful accessory that delivers impressive magnification and image quality for its price. It’s an excellent addition for photographers who want to push their macro capabilities further without investing in specialized macro equipment.
I bought a Raynox 250 from B&H several years ago. Eventually I tested the magnification of the lens and it was only 1.5x, which is that offered by the Raynox 150. I photograph very small life forms via in-camera stacking and lost important opportunities due to this careless, sloppy mismatch in assembly. Understand that I do not hate this high quality lens at all, but give it one star to warn the buyer to test your lens after you purchase it to make sure that it is 1.5x or 2.5x as advertised. I tested it's magnification at maximal closeness in a systematic evaluation (see chart). I do intend to purchase a proper 250, although I should not have had to do that.
