Question 1

What range/zoom does this give?

Accepted Answer

Hello;This is an 8 diopter lens. A diopter changes the focus range of your lens. Diopters come in powers from +1 to +5 (that I've seen). They're also stackable: you can put a +4 diopter on top of another +4 diopter, and conveniently that gives you the effect of a +8 diopter. (Quality does suffer when you stack.) The higher the number, the more powerful the diopter. The more powerful the diopter, the closer you can focus. Specifically: divide 100 centimeters by the diopter power. That's the maximum focus distance of the diopter. A +5 diopter focuses at 20 centimeters or less. A +2 diopter focuses at 50 centimeters or less, so an 8 diopter lens would focus around 13 centimeters or less. Hope this helps. Remember, this lens works when you are in full telephoto.

Question 2

Would it blow my mind with quality if mounted on the already amazing Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens

Accepted Answer

Rather than this, if I want to get closer than my macro ring allows I use some extension rings.  They allow closer focus but add no extra glass to go through. I have a different brand I purchased for the same amount, so something like this  http://www.amazon.com/Movo-Extension-Mirrorless-Compatible-Blackmagic/dp/B00GSCJU3M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1396737657&sr=8-3&keywords=vello+extension+tube

Question 3

It work with a  lumix 18x = panasonic dmc fz28?

Accepted Answer

Please check your Panasonic DMC FZ28 manual. I think the lens size for this camera is 43mm. The Raynox DCR 250 has a diameter that is also 43mm. So one would fit right in front of the glass on the lens, even without the need of the adaptor that is supplied. If the camera lens diameter is different in size, it's no problem to fit, using ring adapters that can be easily obtained.

Question 4

can i use a step up ring and what size?  i don't want to use the spring loaded clip so I just want to attach it with a step up ring.  My lens is 49

Accepted Answer

I have no idea where to find a step up/down ring between 43-49/49-43 mm range. The spring loaded clip attaches to the lens end tightly, and I have never experienced  the DCR-250 disconnected by its own.
