Comments about Canon Canon 58 Close-up Lens 250D (for Lenses 50mm to 135mm):
This lens works great as a close-up lens for my HFS100. If you plan on zooming in though, you will need a tripod/fluid head and a focusing rail. The magnification you can achieve by zooming in is just too much for hand held shots. I had ordered the Adorama focusing rail (part # MFRS) with the lens. The rail is smooth when adjusting focus during recording. There is no focus shift when zooming.

Comments about Canon Canon 58 Close-up Lens 250D (for Lenses 50mm to 135mm):
I'm quite happy with my close up lens purchase. I'm not ready to invest in a separate macro lens yet, so this allows me to capture close up images with the lenses I already have.
It does take a little practice. Auto focus works well with the 18-55 lens (using the 55 end) but it struggles with my 55-250. I'd found it easier to just manually focus with that one.
There is a sweet spot with the close up lens. Slowly move the entire camera forward and back and you'll find the spot where the focus is sharpest.

Comments about Canon Canon 58 Close-up Lens 250D (for Lenses 50mm to 135mm):
It worked more or less as advertised to enable closeups with my EFS 55-250 mm telephoto zoom but the closest shots were more or less in focus but very grey and hazy.

Comments about Canon Canon 58 Close-up Lens 250D (for Lenses 50mm to 135mm):
I've been using this with Canon's 50mm primary lens to capture flower and insect detail. With a tripod and manual focus the images are glorious, rich and everything I hoped for. It fits the lens securely and is quite easy to screw on and take off.
