Zuiko 70-300mm and Raynox DCR-250

Some technical information about using Zuiko 70-300mm with Raynox DCR-250. Skip if you want only photos. :)

All tests on manual focus. Smallest focus distance: 110-130 mm from the Raynox. Should suffice. Largest object that could be photographed: 30 mm. Magnifications and maximum object sizes:

DOF at 200-300 is very, very, very small even at f22.

One of the first acceptable photos I took with it (ISO400, cropped):
