My Raynox DCR150 Macro conversion lens has just arrived, I am going to try it out on my S20Pro first, time to go out and play! |

I hope you enjoy it. It's a shame there aren't many insects around to practice on.

May be you could review it for the reviews section once you have had a play ?

Close-up stuff is a wonderful way of getting to see things differently I hope you enjoy your new lens.
Going off thread a little has anyone tried one of those new Zigview digital eyepiece attachments? It replaces the traditional right-angle finder with a tiny video camera feeding direct from the eyepiece to a little LCD screen for close-up and low level work. Seems like a neat idea.

I had another play with the Ranox DCR150 today this time attached to the front of an old Photax 135mm manual lens used via a 42mill/EOS adaptor on my canon 300D. Not perfect but I am quite pleased that it managed this well taking into account my shaking and poor focusing. http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/ga...Picture252.jpg |

Hi SW I've got the Raynox150 +250. I'm pleased with them but I do find the set up a bit slow, so when I'm out I use a soft case for my pocket and I can just get to it when needed. I did a silly thing yesterday though-went out without it and saw lots of perched darters! That'll teach me.

I did not know about the 250, I assume this gives some extra macro? |

PS Did you see the butterfly guy on Great British summer(I think that's what it's called) up in the tree canopy with the purple emperors? Wicked stuff. I'd love to see them. Julie
