MSN 202 would be better to use with the LX3.

I think raynox250 will have a better outcome than the MSN.

The main issue with the DCR250 is that you won't get much magnification with the LX3 since the LX3 only has 2.5x zoom.

yes i am aware of it but MSN output isnt that convincing.

Most of the LX3 has achieve results with raynox 250.

Hey teebs, thanks for information on the focusing distance.

Hmm i spoke to one of the local distributor who told me that not much will be achieved with Raynox 250 due to the zoom and will produce the same result as LX 3 macro mode. Instead it will only allow you to move nearer to the subject to focus. Hmm anyway what do you mean that MSN output is not that convincing? In term of sharpness or? Hope you all can help to clarify.

Many thanks
