![]() It's stronger brother the DCR250 will not focus beyond 0.125m. ![]() How close your lens will focus will depend on the strength of the diopter with the DCR150 focus will be about 0.2m & somewhat closer as the lens is focused. The macro function makes the lens focus closer for photographing small items (distance focus is lost unless the fisheye part is fitted).ĭedicated macro lenses tend to be more expensive but there are other close up diopters that are significantly better quality - I'd recommend the Raynox DCR150 (again around $50) For many interchangable lens camera systems there are cheap third party true fisheye lenses (not converters) that will only cost around $50 and will give MUCH better quality. The fisheye should give a very wide FOV around 180° often as a circular image. If your camera is a fixed lens model then they do increase your options. There are a handful that are much better but even these do not compare to proper dedicated lenses. Printing to A4 their quality disappoints. These converter systems vary in quality, most I've tried have been pretty poor giving images that print OK to 6x4 or 7x5 as my film shots used to be most of the time. Both halves are needed to get the 'fisheye' effect (often just a wide angle converter), With the outer part removed it is a close up diopter giving a macro/close focusing effect. It seems close to impossible to handhold with subject DOF covererd that close.įrom the fact you're asking about both together I assume you mean the type of converters that screw on the front of the lens. To me it doesn't matter if they allow 1:1 reproduction. But try to read reviews about your candidate's AF speed, before you take it to a side line. Some macro lenses are great(!) "day in day out" lenses. YMMV, but a macro lens is way likelier to see use. I suspect folks to shoot theirs once in a blue moon because they own them instead of owning them because they feel an urge to take 4 shots / year. It would render the world in an unusual way. ![]() + the usual substitutes like ordinary lenses with lots of bellows draw or extension tubes and close up filters. IMHO you can't go wrong with a macro lens. You'll really learn a lot about filters & lighting, when you 'll try to shoot flowers in B&W. OTOH: The world is full of interesting structures and when the light hits them nicely B&W can be a lot of fun. Approaching them with B&W = frustration guarnted." One could argue: "Default use case for macro lenses is shooting flowers. A prime for an ILC, that covers infinity and closer than usual?.Clip or screw in front of existing (cell phone?) camera with fixed lens to close up further?.What kind of "macro lens" are we talking about? <- Double checking. ![]() Lastly, I would like to know how it is useful especially in black and white photography. ![]()
