Fulfils my expectations completely!
TOP product.
See picture, my first photo with this product.Expectations fully met
I use the attachment lens together with a Nikon Macro 105mm on a Nikon z7. Vignetting can occur at open aperture. Nevertheless, for me a good product, as all functions such as automatic focus bracketing etc. are retained due to the simplicity of the system.
Pro
- Good optical performance
- Solid workmanship
- Price
Contra
- Vignetting may occur at open aperture
- Snapping mechanism sometimes a little bit hooky

Raynox DCR-250: An inexpensive close-up lens for sharp macro shots
Summary:
The Raynox DCR-250 is an inexpensive close-up lens that is suitable for beginners in macro photography as well as for advanced photographers who want to extend their magnification beyond 1:1. It offers good image quality and is easy to use on macro or zoom lenses.
My experience:
As a photographer specialising in portrait and street photography, I like to use the Raynox DCR-250 for my morning excursions into nature to photograph insects. The close-up lens allows me to capture small subjects in detail and in razor-sharp focus, even when they are very close to the camera.
I particularly like it:
Good image quality: the images are clear and sharp, even at higher magnifications.
Versatility: The close-up lens can be used on various macro and zoom lenses.
Compact design: The close-up lens is small and lightweight, making it easy to transport.
Value for money: Compared to dedicated macro lenses, the Raynox DCR-250 is very reasonably priced.
Of course, the image quality is not quite as good as that of an expensive macro lens, but the price difference is enormous.
Conclusion:
The Raynox DCR-250 is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to explore the fascinating world of macro photography without spending a lot of money.
A clear recommendation to buy!

I hope this review helps you to decide whether the Raynox DCR-250 is the right close-up lens for you.Delivers what it promises
You lose some light, and the focal plane is insanely narrow. So needs a little practice, but then super photos are possible!
Pro
- optical quality
- Snap mechanism
- Processing
Contra
- Handling not easy
Super macro lens
The macro attachment lens should fulfil two functions for me. Firstly, it should make a non-macro zoom usable for close-ups. Secondly, mounted on a 1:1 macro lens, it extends the magnification. Both functions work perfectly with the Raynox.
One should bear in mind that the Raynox does not work at wide angle, but should be used with a telephoto focal length. With my APSC zoom, the range of approx. 50-135mm is usable. A 1:1 magnification is achieved at 135mm focal length. But anything over 100mm focal length actually needs a tripod. With the 90mm macro lens, even approx. 2:1 magnifications can be achieved handheld, as the photo with the spider shows.Pro
- cheap
- Very good imaging performance
- flexibly applicable
Contra
- The storage box is a bit big for travelling
Super satisfied.
Surprisingly good quality photos. Easy handling. Slight vignetting with 60mm focal length.
