What kind?
I got a 10x doppler--like a screw-on filter. But I'm having problems with focus.
Yep--know the feeling!--I got a Raynox 250--it's a screw in with adapter. I find setting the macro feature works best for focus. If I really want close up I have to either prop or use a tripod. I never can get a really close shot i.e the eye of the fly without loosing other details. With a flash--I can make some spiders completely translucent almost like an xray--or I can count the hairs on an ants butt(no kidding!) Here's a half way decent shot I got tonight with it--using a tripod-no flash.
