Does anyone have one of these Raynox DCR-250s? is it good enough that I can take gunpla and miniatures photos without a dedicated macro lens?[EXIF data available.

>>4400773Yes. Good return on investment considering they're $110 and my macro lens cost me $1300 new. More useful on longer focal lengths (i.e. at least 100mm), but even a cheap 50mm prime would be good enough I reckon. Pair it with a semi-decent speedlite to get enough light on your subject and you're doing decent macro for less than $200
>>4400773Yeah it's great but works best on telephotos that can already focus close. Check out your lens' macro magnification for an idea of how well this will work. If your lens doesn't get very close to begin with this won't magically make it a macro lens. I actually use mine on my macro lens a lot, it works great for ultra macro.Unfortunately non-mft macro lenses tend to be huge and expensive. Extension tubes are cheaper but annoying to use.>gunpla and miniaturesidk about miniatures but gunpla are pretty huge and I wouldn't need to use this with my gear. What camera/lens are you planning on putting this on?
