dunos: Feb 6, 2007; I refuse to be part of your furry fantasies

I want to try a bit of macro so I am thinking of getting the Raynox DCR-250.

I currently have a 400D and a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 - I assume this will all work enough to start with before spending lots of money (which I will end up doing anyway no doubt).

What am I aiming for? Lots of light and a small aperture so that I get enough DoF at the distances I am working at?
