Damsel's Duet!
There is no doubt that the Raynox DCR250 is an excellent macro attachment and it produces some really awesome images. Yet, there is a severe limitation that it poses for a photographer in terms of the distance from which you can shoot images. You have to be close to 10cm from the subject to be able to shoot it. You move a millimeter from the subject and your subject becomes out of focus. This puts a severe constraint on the composition of the frame.
My need for a proper macro lens (Like the Canon 100mm or Tamron 90mm) was evident when I saw these beautiful damsel flies at the Theo. Due to the Raynox limitation, I had to immediately switch to my 300mm lens, move away from the subject and hope that at least one image comes sharp in the low light condition. This is the best shot I could get of the duet!! ;-)
