Waste of time, better off just saving up and getting a dedicated Macro lens.

I have found the Raynox quite acceptable- mind you I only dabble in macro,the Raynox is cheap and fun to play with-have a look at 'Robber 2' and 'Should Have Gone To..' in my portfolio

Cheers,
Gary

PS. 'If the bug bites...' nice one John!

I use a Raynox DCR 250 clip on macro lens- I usually use it on my SMC A 70-210- often at the longer end. Manual focus is essential- working distance approx. 4- 6ins, moving the camera rather than the focus ring. Quite a few of my macro shots in my portfolio are taken using this set up.
Cheers,
Gary

Looks like a back focus issue- to bring the focus point closer use rear e-dial (turn to the right) to adjust to a closer focus position. Remember to use apply one not apply all. ( I think). Cheers, Gary

The macro setting is not selected when using the Raynox. Shot at 210mm.

Some very decent shots- I love this lens, got one for £25- bargain! You don't seem to have lost your touch with this type of lens, great candids.
Cheers, Gary

Ah, I see- not the same as the red eye reduction preflash.
