All About The Raynox DCR-250, Macro-Scan 2.5x Super Macro Conversion Lens, with Snap-on Universal Mount for 52mm to 67mm Filter Diameters.
I first got this lens thinking that i would be able to get some insect close ups with it. But the raynox 250 seriously has a very short depth of field. This along with the issues of the camera not being able to auto focus with the lens on and also the range needed to get good close up shots make it pretty much impossible. I would greatly recommend using a tripod when using this lens as any slight movement would throw the image out of focus due to the short depth of field. All in all however i am pretty happy with the quality of the lens itself. In the right hands it'll probably be able to provide some really high quality, interesting and clear macro shots.
Pros:
Cheaper than most macro lenses/filters
Nice and high magnification
Easy to install and store
Fits most lenses
Can produce some high quality images
Cons:
Very short depth of field
Confuses auto focus so manual focus needed
Tripod required to get really good shots
Almost impossible to get a good clear shot of a moving subject (depth of field problem again)
Lens has to practically touch the subject to get best magnification
