Thanks for all the advice, im using sony A55 with the 18-55 to 55-200. was looking online for the extension tube when i saw someone selling raynox 250 on the buy/sell 100 bucks, so....
Currently very amaze with what macro can do, although very hard to focus (not sure its normal or lens). My test shot today straight away after i brought the lens

(abit out of focus but im happy enuff)
Looking forward to next newbie macro outing to get advice and tips :D[/QUOTE]
Raynox will need some time to get used to. After a few macro shoots, you should get it liao.
1 common way to use the raynox is to move your body instead of turning the focusing ring to focus. Move your body to and fro.
Another way is to just spam shots. Shot 20, there will be at least 1 that hits lol.
