I think maybe RAYNOX do this (short lens diameter) in order to keep the weight (and therefore the cost) of the glasses on the safe side, and to reduce the variety of models to fit every camera objective diameter (again is a matter of costs).
#RAYNOX FOR SONY 90MM MACRO FULL#
I think RAYNOX should include a third cap to fit on the internal or back side of the ring adapter in order to protect the lens while being attached to the ring without the need of screw and unscrew it every time you use it: It's ironic that you can quickly snap-on the ring on the camera but you have to screw and unscrew the lens on and off the ring adapter if you want to keep it protected from scratches when traveling or storing it.īecause of the short (restricted) diameter of the lens respect of the most common (bigger) camera objective diameters you will have vignetting at great apertures (or at low zooming settings, depending on the camera) but for macro photography purposes when you have severe compromises with deep of field (almost never you will work at full apertures) this is not a big issue at all. The lens and the external ring comes separated one from the other (you have to screw the lens on the ring adapter to use it), and then after the job, if you want to keep the lens protect ed with both side caps on, you have to unscrew it first. You’ll have to clip it to a lens with a filter size between 52mm to 67mm. The narrow deep of field issues are the same that you will have on any similar macro lens (there are no magic tricks to solve this optical restriction). Compatibility The Raynox DCR-250 is not a dedicated lensmeaning you can’t attach it directly to your camera.

I couldn't see any noticeable distortions on the image caused by poor quality optics. Perfect for product or portrait photography. The "snap-on" universal adapter works very well and engages firmly and safely on the lens barrel or tube adapter. A beautiful example of this optically stunning lens, fully metal build for solid performance and long life. It's Japan made, well built, comes with protective caps on both sides of the lens. I own a Panasonic Lumix FZ-150 and this macro lens fits perfect in the tube adapter for this particular camera. Great lens and great value for the quality of the components.
