 Amazing value August 9, 2010

I'm not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I've always loved doing macro shots. I've tried other similarly priced diopter lenses and without a doubt the quality of this lens is fantastic, especially given the price. I actually gave away my other macros lenses after I bought this one.
I shoot with the Panasonic 45-200 on a G1 and this lens gives you around a 100mm to 18mm FoV (depending on zoom) and down to a 1mm DoF (depending on f stop). Expect to be about 30cm from what you're shooting. No CA or distortion visible to the casual observer (i.e. me). Check out the manufacturer's website for example shots. The adapter ring is solid and easy to use.
For other G1 owners, the manufacturer mentions some vignetting on the kit lens (the 14-45). It's actually pretty bad and limits the useful range of that lens to around 25-30 with the macro on, but it still might be worth it.
 Good for what it does. July 16, 2010

You are going to get what you pay for: A decent piece of glass that is easy to clip onto a lens. It has a very shallow depth-of-field and requires manual focusing, although auto-focus can be used for approximation. You need time, stabilty, and proximity to use this lens. It is not a macro lens (only focuses in center) but serves a macro function. The advantage of not using an extension tube is that you do not have to fiddle with the lens.
I was quite surprised that this worked with my Nikon 70-300mm VR zoom. It also works with my 55mm f2.8 manual focus. I can see that the DCR- 250 may be more difficult to focus due to DOF. I reommend that a DOF preview button is used to ensure that you get the picture you want.

I bought this after reading an article in Popular Photography. The article said it was a good, cheap alternative to buying a macro lens. It also showed a sample photo taken with the product, and the quality was quite good. However, the product did not work well with my lens, the Tamron 18-250mm. The vignetting was so severe the image was just a circle in the center of a dark frame. The quality of the image in that circle was not bad, and with certain lenses the product might be worth the money. I would recommend researching what lenses it works well with before buying it. I also think it makes the most sense to use extension tubes for macro work. They don't add any glass in addition to your lens. The only reason I didn't use extension tubes is that they are not made for my camera.
Great fot the price May 18, 2009

This is a great little item for the price. Obviously not as good as a macro lens, but well worth it for the person that cannot afford a dedicated lens or fot the person that has a camera with a non-interchagable lens.
