That is interesting to know Peter. Cheers

Oh yes I do agree, but I cant fit a lens hood with the DCR attached. I have ordered the DCR and the afore mentioned filter, and will see how it works out. It was'nt that expensive so thought I would try it anyway.

I will see what the results are, with it and without it, when using / not using lighting.

Thankyou. 

Thanks for your thoughts. You did suggest using UV filters for protection sometime ago, and I have UV filters fitted to every one of my lens. Hoya on all my DX Lens, and URTH (Ex GOBE 2pk) on all my FX and Z Lens. 

I only asked the previous question as, shooting close-up with artificial lighting and no lens hood, I thought I would need something to prevent stray light entering the lens, ie some sort of filter.

I found the DCR-250 on Amazon and a suggested addition for it was a K&F Concept Black 1/4 Mist Soft Glow Diffuser Lens (Nano K Series). 

I was thinking that this may be the item to prevent the entry of stray light.

I've never heard of it before, but then I've not been around this stuff for very long.

Any thoughts on this please 

Regards John

Thanks Peter, I thought they would not be much good for me but thought I would ask. 

I do value your knowledge. 

What about a filter for the Raynox.

Would it be a worthwhile purchase ? and what type would you suggest for my MC lens

Thanks

I had a look at the Raynox DCR-250 Peter and yes, it looks good.

If I bought one would you recommend me buying a 49mm filter for it.

If yes, what type of filter would you suggest ?

Also, in my searching, I saw a set of JJC Close Up Filters, +2, +4, +8, & +10, size 62mm for my Z MC 105mm Lens. I just wondered if you have tried using this sort of thing and, if yes, what you thought of them.

Cheers

John
