50mm reverse macro vs DCR-250

lefei · 18th April 2006

I am using an S1 and want to do more macro (I have a +4 close-up filter only).

Which option should I go for?

1. Get a 50mm lens (cheaper option)
2. Get a Raynox DCR-250 (more ex, but not so bulky)
3. Any other suggestions?

TIA.

depend on budget i guess
i think 50mm reverse lens shld be more ex ya?
the Raynox DCR-250 is a clone of the canon 250D two lens macro filter?

Yeah.. I guess so. Budget is a little impt to me, but if the Raynox DCR-250 is less bulky, might want to consider that.
