Thanks from OP

Hi,

Thanks you to everyone who responded. There's a lot of information there. It's interesting that there was such a significant difference between the Raynox, Marumi and Canon 250Ds.

I've got a solid macro lens, but I don't always want to carry it and the matched tube (just from the aspect of weight) if I'm not doing a lot of macro. Light accessories are good, but I keep getting mixed success with my Canon 250D. It might be me - there is no discipline in photography that depends as much on technique as gear - but based in your experience, I think it might be worth the experiment.  I'll buy a Raynox 150 . It won't break the bank to see if I can extract better IQ.

Many thanks, Rod
