With the clip-on you can also use the Raynox on your standard zoom.

I ordered one with the adapter, but for a more stable mount for dedicated macroing I figured the step down was the way to go.
The clip is stable, I`ve used Raynoxes a lot and never had one detach.

I am not actually sure how this mounts, and since my shipment had been delayed I figured the hood would be a nice addon.
IME a 58mm hood for the 55-300 is a necessity and a 49mm hood for the Raynox is well worth it, but not necessary.

That won`t work. The Raynox thread is 43mm.

IMO: Definitely get a 58mm hood for the 55-300. Use the Raynox clip-on adapter. Get a 49mm hood for the Raynox, or not. It`s not a necessity but good to have.
