Critique First Attempts At Macro

[jimjam11]

I bought a raynox 250 to add to my existing setup and I am keen to see what people think and where I can improve.

There are a few more in my flickr library as well, but these are probably my best! I have been amazed at the image quality obtained with the raynox, although I have noticed that focus is very hard to achieve using my 75-300 lens (lens set to manual infinity). I assume a real macro lens focuses from infinity to its MFD, whereas the raynox alters the area of sharp focus to a tiny plane? I have also found turning the manual focus ring doesnt appear to affect the focus when the raynox is attached?


thanks,

Can't speak for your setup but I do know on my macro lens tamron 90 mm vc within raynox 202 attached I don't have to have it set to infinity nor my nifty fifty.

I think you have made a very good start. Give yourself time to get used to it.

I'm hoping to get my raynox 250 tomorrow to test on my 55-250 lens.
