Its interesting the 250 seems to getting a lot of attension lately.

I thought it is difficult to find focus with the 250.

I really want to check if it's more difficult than full set of tubes on the camera.

Amazing shots, those jumping spiders are the "scottish folds' of the spider world, I'm afraid of spiders but seeing such pictures make me want to reach out and cuddle them. The DCR 250 + Sigma 70 are a match made in heaven

I recently got a 150 and did the monthly challenge with it...mostly used HeliconFocus for focus stacking...some images:

I really like your work, Lightbulb! How did you construct your soft box?

Hi WalterK, you will need one large one close to your lens element;

Old Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO macro on 300mm macro with Raynox DCR-250.
Tiny sugar ants attracted by cat food

The setup was pretty lousy : handheld, no flash diffuser. Very hard to focus on those tiny guys, they are no more than 2mm. Considering the setup, the result is not bad at all.
