Renowned, Raynox high-quality multi-element close-focus supplementary lenses complete with snap-on adapters, original packaging and paperwork. I would describe their condition (cosmetically and optically) as being ‘very good to excellent’. I made great use of these with both fixed focal length and zoom lenses before purchasing my first ‘true macro’ lens, of which I know have three in different focal lengths. In consequence, the Raynox have seen very little use in recent years and the time has come to offer them for sale.

These lenses currently retail for in excess of £70.00 in the U.K. I am asking £35.00 for the DCR-150, 45.00 for the DCR-250 or £70.00 for the pair, all prices excluding carriage (buyer selects service and pays for shipping). My preferred method of payment is PayPal.

The following jpegs images (only levels or curves and cropping post-capture) were taken using a 50mm SMC Pentax-A (minimum focus set) mounted on a Pentax K-3. Both images with the supplementary lenses attached were taken ‘hand-held’.

A few more shots from Sorrento in May. These all taken on the ME Super again with the lenses mentioned in the previous thread but this time on fresh Kodak Gold 200, shot at box speed.

(I probably could have done a little bit better with levelling out the white balance)

No sweat lad... get some shut eye!
T-minus 1 hour until work is done, half hour cycle home, then cook/eat food before the inevitable 20 minutes on the sofa 😂

You're welcome Bill
Note to self: Oh for Christ's sake, Ben, get names right at least!

So sorry! I'm going to blame it on only a few hours sleep last night - younger doggo was up barking at 3am, then fussing to go outside. Once she did, she was sick twice so 11-3am was about the extent of my sleep last night!

(Thanks for taking this in good humour, though)
