The clip-on lens is perfect for most point-and-shoot cameras, but for a dSLR, the lens needs to be able to see through the 43mm glass elements of the Raynox. The small thread size of the glass element holder may be why it's affordable. It's not suitable for use with a wide-angle lens on a dSLR, and with a normal or telephoto lens, you need to stop down to f/8, f/11, or even f/16. You can find sample images by searching for DCR-150, and there are dedicated Flickr groups for photos taken with these close-up accessories.

This product offers a bit more depth of field than the DCR-250, which I love. It's a great buy and a fantastic product. Just adjust the focus by moving forward and back, and you'll be extremely satisfied with it.

This high-quality glass enhances the versatility of my kit without the need to add the weight of an extra lens.

This lens is great for turning any lens into a macro, but it requires a tripod/monopod or steady hands. It's also very user-friendly.

I highly recommend this product for macro photography. I have been using it on my Canon SX40HS and the photos come out really well. A tripod also helps with getting great shots.

The optical quality of the lens is excellent and mounting it using the clip-mount system is fairly simple. The price is reasonable for the quality of the lens. However, be aware that depending on the focal length, there may be some vignetting. The packaging is quite bulky for the size of the lens, so a smaller fabric pouch would be more practical for protection and transportation.

I am very impressed with this converter lens for my Canon Powershot SX40. It maximizes macro photos, even though it is not a true macro lens. I will be purchasing the DCR-250 as well. The lens works well with the telephoto, but the depth of field is narrow and focusing can be tricky. I am getting a Macro focusing rail for my tripod to make it easier to make micro adjustments. I don't use the digital zoom feature on my camera and prefer natural lighting for my photos. I only make minor adjustments in Photoshop Elements 9. Overall, I highly recommend this lens.

I really love the high-quality images this adapter can produce. My only concern was the universal adapter that came with it not staying securely on my main lens, so I bought a step-down ring to fix that issue. With the ring, it works excellently. The threads at the end by the camera body are 46mm in diameter and the ones at the other side are 49mm. I also bought screw-on lens covers for both sides to keep it safe when not in use, as I wanted more confidence in protecting the lens than the slide-on covers provided.
