Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this from here not too long ago. I got it to compliment my Canon Powershot S5IS and I honestly couldn't be happier. The glass used is high quality and that results in a very sharp picture. Takes a little practice using, as the DOF is razor thin at full zoom but once you get that down you can take some amazing closeup shots that result in some unbelievable details. Worth every penny!

I use this for macrophotography. I use it combined with my Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens. It is easy to clip on and take off. It would have been better to come with a pouch instead of the plastic box. That way I could easily carry it when not in use.

Great lens

I use it on my Panasonic DMC-FZ50 with excellent results. Beats the cheaper screw-on lenses hands down. I thought the clip-on adapter looks a bit flimsy, but it works OK. Can't use any standard filters with the adapter in place.

I use the Raynox DCR-250 with the FZ50's 10x Leica lens at full magnification for awsome close-up shots.

I love this lens! It fits on both my Konica Minolta Z3 and my Canon S3 IS. I've gotten fantastic macro shots with it. When you shoot with it, do NOT use the macro mode on the camera. Use the regular mode. With it, you can zoom in to 2.5 times your zoom (that brings it to 30x maginificatio -- AWESOME). Also, you don't use the focus button on the camera. YOu position YOURSELF to get the object you are shooting into focus. You move the camera just ever so slightly
in order to focus it. Macrophotography is so tiny that your focus range is equally tiny. Imagine that you are the size of an insect, and the delicate range of distance has to be made by YOU in your current cumbersome size. Hold your breath, focus, and shoot. I've gotten absolutely incredible close ups with this lens. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in macrophotography. It's awesome!

I would purchase this product again

Pros:

Easy To Use, Improves Product Function, Lightweight

Best Uses:

Close-up photograghy

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm extremely happy with the resolution this lens provides while taking photos with my Fuji camera. It snaps in place inside the 52mm lens and is very easy to remove. The conversion lens is well worth the small investment.
