What is a raynox lens?
Raynox are highly corrected, 3 and 4 element achromatic multicoated lenses that are very well known for their great image quality. These close-up lenses are designed to mount in front of a telephoto lens (or a zoom lens at the telephoto setting).
Does a diopter change focal length?
Diopter filters are just like a magnifying glass for your lens. They also shift the minimal focus distance so you can get macro shots without having to use a macro lens.
How do you use a diopter lens?
When you attach a macro lens, you screw it directly onto the camera’s body. When it comes to a diopter lens, you screw it onto your regular lens to take close-up shots. On the minus side, diopter lens has a subtle curve or warp around the edges and minor visual impurities.
What is the adapter for the Raynox lenses?
Raynox supplies the lenses with a plastic 52-67mm adjustable adapter you can see in the image below. This is the supplied Raynox adjustable adapter and DCR-150 also known as the Model M-150 lens.
How do I calculate the magnification with a Raynox?
To estimate the magnification with a Raynox and the primary lens focused at infinity, use this simple formula: Magnification with Raynox = focal length of primary lens / focal length of the Raynox. With a 70-200mm lens @200mm and Raynox DCR-250 (focal length of DSR-250 is 125 mm, focal length of DSR-150 is 208 mm)
Is the Raynox dcr-250 the right lens for You?
After all, there is nothing worse for a macro enthusiast than to come across a rare insect or flower in the field and not have the right lens for the job! The DCR-250 is one of five macro converters from Raynox, a well-respected Japanese producer of conversion lenses of all sorts.
What is the difference between the rayraynox models?
Raynox with 43mm mounting threads will cover a full frame sensor but the 37mm threaded models are better suited for a crop sensor camera. The Model M-150 (DCR-150) lenses are the same optically as the CM-200 1.5X and the Model M-250 (DCR-250) is the same as the CM-2000 2.5X.
