This is what you get from a 100mm dedicated macro lens and a Raynox DCR-250 super macro conversion lens. The Raynox 250 is an 8-diopter lens and fit nicely withe smc Pentax D FA 100mm f2.8 Macro WR. The picture is cropped to amplify the magnification ratio but obviously, this is still not close enough.
Need for diopter
I guess, the most ideal conversion lens for a 100mm macro lens is the Raynox MSN-202 super macro conversion lens

to get in close just buy a good set of extension tubes. by moving the lens closer to the subject, the effect is a strong macro. placing filters in front of a lens will lessen the sharpness.
Thanks for the info.. it’s so easy to be tempted to add filters because that seems logical. Will be on the lookout for a good extension tube set..
