Raynox DCR-250 + Nikon 50mm 1.8D

[Circus1]

What magnification will I get from this set up? Do 'you' think it's worth getting DCR 250 when coupled with Nikon 50mm?

Thanks

Hi, I dun know about raynox on a 50mm, but I am using a Vitacon "macro+wide angle" combo on a D40 kit lens and here is a sample of a macro shot with only the macro lens:



What do you think? I am very happy with it.

Hi, have you tried already?

I can't even get a focus (manually) using my D40, 50mm F1.8/55-200mm + DCR250.....

DCR 250 + Pana FZ 7 no promblem though..

try putting ur lens into infinity focus and go as close to the subject as possible, then slowly move outwards until you get sharp focus.

i am using manual focus. when you use raynox dcr-250, you need to place your camera directly/flat in front of your object to have a good focus. try not to slant your camera.
