they are perfect.. interested to know how you fix the setup?
always wanted to know how to attach dcr250 to my Panasonix TZ1.. but can not find a converter.

Converter should come with it to adhere DCR250 to it. MSN202 will give better magnification. Can get 1 over ebay brand new for USD65.99 including delivery to Singapore.

Cheers!

Nice series of pics. SX10IS has 20X zoom right? Much better than my S3 IS...

But the last flower pic doesn't seem to have much details. Could be overexposure?

understand.. there is a 67mm clip for dcr250 which clip to the inner rim of lens.. but i need a tube to connect to the camera itself.. it has no tube-like structure to attach these things..

I do not think that an adaptor tube can be attached to your TZ1. You may want to try if the DCR250 can be clipped onto your lens directly.

I'm still in the learning stage too.... too many at times i wanted to throw my equipment when i just can't capture a sharp frame

the one thing about the raynox is the focusing that makes me hate/enjoy using it

SX10IS is more pleasant to use compare to its previous models besides the F5.6 at the Zoom end and focus hunting in low lit subject (This is just my own opinion as I used to own S5IS)

Enjoy your equipment and you'll learn to adapt to its limits

Cheers

For SX10, do you clip the DCR250 directly to the lens or do you clip it to the Raynox adaptor tube?

DCR250 attached to the supplied clip and i just clipped it (the DCR250 + Universal clip) directly to SX10IS lens cap thread

I hope i don't confused you more...

Hi bro I also have a similar set up

Just to share, although your butterfly shots are very nice and detailed, the framing is too tight. Do try to give some room for the butterfly to "fly around"

parampita · 14th February 2009

Front view, side view, top view

Good shots! Very natural lighting.

Think the first 2 shots are of the cycad blue. Very nice and clean! Where's this remote place?

dev2k8 · 15th February 2009

I would say for the limitations on this cam, you are doing a good job especially your flash control. You mentioned DIY..care to show us???
