Originally posted by yeatzee I've been entertaining the idea of buying the 250 for extreme (talking just the eyes of jumpers) macros but im still a little un sure. How bad is the image degredation at magnifications greater than 1:1? How does the raynox attach to the lenses? Via the filter ring? So do I have to buy step up/down rings as well?
it will work from anything 49 filter size and up, 49 is the minimum as you kindda "screw" it on instead of using the springs.
I just got mine today, really fun, but very hard to focus (and i have the 150 VS the 250), it's usable, i just slap it on my 100mm macro since it's a macro lens, i rarely use it to take regular pictures.
i find that I usually sit at f11 or f18 to get a decent shot with some details, other wise too many things are out of focus because of the DOF at that kind of working distance.
took a test shot (actually like 15 to get this 1 lol)
