Summary: Good quality - but know what you want to use if for
Comment: This is a quality piece and can take good close-up pictures of still objects. I was looking for something to capture moving/flying insects, this is not what I needed. My fault not the lense.

Summary: Can anyone post any sample pictures?
Comment: I'm looking for a closeup lens for my Canon EOS Rebel XT. But before buying I wish I can see some pictures taken using this lens.

Summary: magnifies but gets blurry
Comment: This lens does ok at magnifying about 2x max. On full zoom, the magnification was not as sharp as without the close-up lens.

Summary: Canon 58mm 250D Close-up Lens
Comment: This is an excellent add-on close-up lens, not to be confused with the relatively inexpensive 1-2-4 sets sold as aftermarket accessories. This is a double-element achromatic (color-corrected) lens made by Canon and recommended for lenses in the range of 50-135mm focal length. It is very sharp and clear with no color fringing. The "250" indicates the maximum distance to the subject is about 250mm with the main lens focussed at infinity. The actual lens power is about 4.0 diopters (+4). It has a 58mm outer thread so you can add a clear filter (UV or Skylight) to protect the lens surface. I am using it with a Canon A620 and the required adapter, and it produces outstanding pictures with excellent detail and sharpness.

Summary: Awesome Close-Up Lens! Get One!
Comment:
I bought the 250D lens to use with my Sony DSC-F717 and it is just wonderful. I can also use it with my Canon G3 because I bought a Canon LADC58B Conversion Lens Adapter (which is required and is inexpensive).
I had been hearing a lot of good things about this lens in digital photography forums and I have seen many wonderful examples of its use.
I recommend this lens to anyone who wants to make their "macro" photography shine. Get one!
Just be clear that there is the 52mm and the 58mm and don't be confused as to which one will fit your camera.
Edit:
Just a clarification:
This one 'is' the "58mm" even though above (on this page) when you click the links "See More Technical Details" and "See all Product Description" it mentions "52mm". This is misleading and confusing. At the very very top of this page it says "58mm". Let me just assure you that this particular one 'is' the "58mm" and 'is not' the "52mm".
late edit (Aug 04, 06):
Well, it looks as if Amazon finally corrected that misleading info I mentioned just above in my clarification.
