[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1104442, member: 26972"]I don't want to take your wind out of your sails, but I bought and tried that DCR250 and never ended up using it. I think I'll sell it for less than you can find it. it clips on to the end of my canon lens. cant answer your question without being familiar with the lens. I remember that I had trouble with vignetting and getting the coin in the frame. If your lens detaches from you camera body. Get extension tube rings for 10 bucks and add them to the lens. $10 on eBay I was able to take a 35-70mm lens from an old Nikon 35mm film camera and adapt it to my Canon with the aforementioned extension rings and shoot images like this.
