Wondering what lens you used the 250 on. I have had great images with this Raynox.
Using on my 105mm sigma macro shaky hands and slight breeze make very shallow DOF difficult

Could it be the tiny depth of field of this lens attachment making it difficult to get the focus point in the perfect position.

Yes it is the tiny DOF that gives me issues after years of trying to perfect my technique with standard macro it is like starting all over. Have not worked with the Raynox enough to get used to it not sure I ever will I am going to get another Laowa 2x lens before spring

Biggest tip I can give is proper lighting and tons of practice I have been on here since 2011 and mostly learning and practicing macro you can look back at my post and see the progress. It takes tons of patience and and figuring out what is best for you I carry a small camp stool with me and many times will sit in same spot waiting for the shot for hours and it has paid off I consistently achieve about an 80% keeper rate. I once did a tutorial on Pentax Forums and have thought about trying my hand at a YouTube tutorial might do one soon.

Nice set. It's really hot out and the skeeters love it. Makes it hard to get motivated.
I have only went out to do pics about 3 or 4 times in last month

1/4 in thick packing foam one of the luxuries of using the Flashpoint V-1 flash got plenty of power
