Originally posted by photolady Now I also read that some use a step ring instead of the adapter that comes with this product.
That would be me. Personal decision, but I found the adapter big and clunky enough that I was loathe to even bring the lens with me. Whereas with a simple stepping ring, the whole thing fits in the little zipper pouch that came with my SD card. In any case, I needed a ring of some kind to use the Raynox with most my primes, since the adapter only fits 52mm rings and larger. So I could either use the clip on with a 49-52, or just use the 49-43 and skip the clip on. The latter made more sense to me.

Sure! Here's one (digital) from the 150 on my DA70, which gives about 1:2 magnification. It's f/11, so DOF is OK, although not deep enough to have everything in focus. But check out the lower left to see a corner of the image that is in focus, so you can judge see IQ in the corners, at least on APS-C.
Here's a shot from the 150 with the M135/3.5, which yields around 1:1:
