[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 445812, member: 12257"] 2nd... I got my Raynox DCR250 in today!!! Harder to use than one would think, but with patience (and a little honey) I got these ants to stand still for a moment. Definitely need flash to keep frame rate high enough, as this was shot at f16 (max for my 50mm 1.8G). There's a lot of moving back and forth to get the focus just right, and this was cropped a bit from the original, but MUCH closer than I could ever get before! Gonna try it on the 18-55 (which already has a nice close focal distance) and the 70-300 some time soon!

Maybe even a few more... It's not @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-11881-moab-man.html"]Moab Man[/URL] and his MAGNIFIED MACRO, but it's closer than anything I could ever achieve without the DCR250, so I'm thrilled! I predict MANY days spent crawling on my belly looking for subjects. ;) [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]153336._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
