Its a damn good quality lens and produces superb results.
I prefer an old sigma achromatic for insects though because the focus distance is something like 18 inches instead of 6 inches with the raynox.
Achromatic is a fancy term meaning it has a lot of elements in the lens and is of good quality.
The dcr 150 has a focus distance of something like 9 inches
Dcr 250 is about 6 inches.
You dont scare the insects off so much.

this is freaking amazing ... i have this cam but i was hesitating buying this raynox lens ...
how could you be so close to the fly, not scaring it, what settings, Macro with zoom, or super macro?
thanks you really for sharing .....

@Quixpeed the fly was about 15 cm (some 6 in) away. It was so concentrated in licking the pollen that it didn't notice me. The camera was just fully zoomed and no macro setting was used. Go ahead and buy it! It's not too expensive either.
