What a Raynox does to a Tamron 70-300mm

audiobomber · 08-05-2008, 01:55 PM

The images are uncropped.

Tamron 70-300mm @ 300mm, F/18 (1:2 macro)

Tamron 70-300mm + Raynox 250 @ 300mm, F/40 (2.7:1 macro).

A cicada is a large insect, but the Tamron/Raynox makes it look the size of a buffalo.

The Raynox did the job. By the way, which model of the Raynox did you use? I have a Raynox for wide angle but have not tried one for macro photos yet.

I'm not sure what that's about. I can see them fine. I've seen this happen before, it takes a while for the photos to show up. Maybe they're OK for you now?

Which camera body did you use for these?

cupic · 08-06-2008, 12:01 AM

Damn I should have bought one when I had to chance

cheers

2.7:1? Whoa!

The pics have tremendous resolution--I thought it was the K20. How much does this Raynox attachment cost?

I just received mine last week, just have not had a chance to use it yet. Looking at the pictures have conviced me it's time to take it out of the box.

hi, could you try posting them in the gallery, as i cant see them either, and would really like to.

Thanks

Very nice! Do you know what are those orangey-red spheres (triangle of them) between the insect's eyes?

Andi Lo · 08-08-2008, 05:00 PM

i just got one myself and it cost me 50$ from craigslist (mint, almost never used). Cool attachment and the fact that it's at the front means I dont have to bother unscrewing it like I would with teleconverters
