[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 442835, member: 11881"] @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-12257-pretzel.html"]Pretzel[/URL] I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Raynox did to allow my 70-300mm to be used as a macro lens. The short of it... it works! So prepare yourself as I unleash the fury of photos. All images, except for the last, are jpeg out of camera - just resizing. Lens was less than a hands length away except where noted. D600 Raynox DCR-250 70-300mm Tripod mounted with VR off This first shot was right up close and personal. The flower is about a quarter to half dollar in size. Not really a great photo. Too close in this combination of lens w/Raynox. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]151781._xfImport[/ATTACH] Backed out just a bit and adjusted the focus manually. This really showed me some promise and surprised me. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]151782._xfImport[/ATTACH] Backing the lens (zoom) up and dialing in the focus manually it did a nice job. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]151783._xfImport[/ATTACH] Backing the zoom out to 70mm. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]151784._xfImport[/ATTACH] Raynox is removed. Camera is moved back roughly five feet to its minimum focusing distance. Lens was at 230mm to try and give the best image as lenses can be soft at the two extremes. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]151785._xfImport[/ATTACH] This last image is processed as I would a shot using my macro lens with the Raynox. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]151786._xfImport[/ATTACH] The Raynox is a pretty inexpensive way to make a lens perform like a macro. Using the 70-300mm worked well, but was heavy and could be difficult to manage when working with such a small focal area when compared to my much lighter dedicated macro 90mm. However, like all things, we make do, learn and improve. In conclusion, without hesitation I can recommend the Raynox on the 70-300mm and I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
