Thank you, this is helpful - I'm actually looking for a diopter to augment my A6300 + 90mm setup for a prospective trip to Anilao. +6 doesn't seem to give that much magnification though - frame width goes down from ~23mm to ~16mm, so it should be possible to frame a ~1cm subject, but not the truly tiny stuff that Anilao is famous for. Trying to decide between Weefine WFL03 (+12, $199), WFL05 (+13, $359), and Nauticam SMC-1 ($480).

Have you considered the Subsee +10 diopter lens ($225)? Reports of image quality at Bluewater Photo are good. Calculator shows 2x magnification over 90 mm macro lens alone, and it covers a full frame sensor (and APSC) which could be problematic with the Weefine WFL03.
