wow, looks like there are other alternatives too.. but i'm kinda confused as to which to consider.
from internet review i think i'll want to go for the raynox 250 as it is universal?
are there any recommend places for me to check out? its price is around ~$130 right.
thanks! =)

Some details for the Raynox DCR 150, DCR 250, MSN 202 and MSN 505. Suggest you keep away from the MSN 202 and MSN 505, these are for the pros.

u can check on vitacon product.. gp to penisula n test b4 u buy
There's nothing wrong for fadiz86 to ask TS to try vitacon....but it is really very wrong since there are expert in CS who warned him about the brand. And very very very wrong to recommend TS to go waste his time and test (worst if TS got con-and buy) when fadiz86 himself did not buy vitacon.
almost 2 years with CS and i still see loads of nice people around sharing essential knowledge/tips/information with newbies who ask the very same question posed by others before. not enough? i beg to differ guys. information with illustrative photos, recommendation to other links/sites and nice advices based on personal experiences are in abundance not only pertaining to macro lens but to other equipments as well.
don't get me wrong guys, not getting personal in here. i've had my fair share of lousy purchase before. so it's a nice personal gesture to share with newbies not to fall into the same trap again and again as we all had seen over time. some newbie even air out their lousy/wrong purchase on their very 1st posting. and when i give my thought, i get shot down in the middle.
of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. like i've mentioned before, CS is a very good platform for newbies who just started out in photography. so much to read/review/digest.
TS, the ball is in your court now. you need anything, use the search function, google it. all the best dude

No need to be on dedicated macro lenses. Can be used on your 55-200mm lens.
Best use with lenses that are from 50mm onwards. Can be a fixed 50mm or 85mm, as long as the filter thread is between 52mm-67mm.
I use it on my 50mm, 55-200mm & 70-300mm lenses.
The DCR250 is a 8x magnification while the DCR is only 4.8 mag. Both have different working distance.
Check out the link I gave you or drop by the shop
Hi!
I'm also looking for a "macro" lens.. either by using the dcr-250 or tube. But for tube, what are the good recommended brands? i'm using nikon + 18-55mm/50m/55-200mm..
any recommendation in here?
Thank you!=)

Yes they do. I seen a full set of extension tubes going for like $30. But really just metal tubes.

you can find cheap ones here:

AFAIK your DOF would be doubled using extension tubes so for example if shooting at f2.8 it's effectively making it f5.6.. depends on the length of the tube.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong on this one.
