Is the Raynox dcr-250 a macro lens?
The Raynox DCR-250, a macro conversion lens that I’ve been eyeing ever since reading a positive review on Eyes Unclouded, was available for about 1/4th of the original price. Needless to say, I snapped it up faster than plucky seagulls do ice cream!
What are the parts of the Raynox 250?
The Raynox 250 consists of two main parts: a clip-on mount that will fit any thread size between 52mm and 67mm, and a lens made of 3 high index optical glass elements in 2 groups.
What’s the maximum magnification of a Raynox macro lens?
Magnification – The lens has a magnification power of 2.5x. You can obtain the maximum magnification power by shooting towards the telephoto end of your lens. Filter Thread – The lens has a front filter thread that measures in at 49mm, allowing you to attach creative filters for interesting effects.
Can a Raynox 250 be used as a telephoto zoom?
The second experiment was carried out with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the Lumix 35-100mm f/2.8, a telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds. The great advantage of using a telephoto zoom with the Raynox 250 is that you can change the magnification simply by zooming in and out.
