5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Performer, March 28, 2008

By	sanka (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

I bought this lense in a package that came with both the Raynox DCR-150 and the Raynox DCR-250. Both lenses are excellent when snapped on the front of my Panasonic FZ8. Really any camera with a decent zoom should perform well.

Having both the Raynox 150 and 250 allows for some comparison. To be honest, I like the 150 better. I use it exclusively when I'm out in nature, the 250 has a much shallower depth of field, and is too hard to use handheld. The 150 gets a great macro, as you can see if you look at the customer images above, and the depth of field is much more forgiving. I have had far greater luck using my 150 in real world situations than my 250.

The lense takes a bit of getting used to. Some people will only shoot on manual focus, but I find this frustrating. Most cameras focus fast enough, I know my FZ8 does, and I have no problems at all. In general you just have to get into the right range (about 6" or so), and your camera will focus just fine.

In all I definitely recommend this product, especially if you have a nice super zoom camera like the Panasonic FZ8.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Little Macro Lens, September 13, 2008

By	Stephen Spitzer (Chicag, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had Nikon screw on lenses and lost them, so I decided to get this lens. Although it is not quite as classy looking as they were and the diameter is less, this lens can take some very sharp pictures, and is strong enough to use at partial zoom and still get great results. I would recommend this lens to anyone wishing to get an easy to use macro lens for a point and shoot zoom camera. Note, I do use an adapter and do not attach this to my lens directly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fot the price, May 18, 2009

By	Theodore I. Griffith III "tiggrtoo" (Cortez, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great little item for the price. Obviously not as good as a macro lens, but well worth it for the person that cannot afford a dedicated lens or fot the person that has a camera with a non-interchagable lens.
