Would it blow my mind with quality if mounted on the already amazing Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens

Rather than this, if I want to get closer than my macro ring allows I use some extension rings. They allow closer focus but add no extra glass to go through. I have a different brand I purchased for the same amount, so something like this Movo Photo AF Macro Extension Tube Set for Micro 4/3 Mount Mirrorless Camera System (Compatible with Olympus PEN, Panasonic Lumix, Blackmagic Cinema Camera) with 10mm, 16mm & 21mm Tubes

C'mon, the macro glass you have is already amazing - an electron microscope the Raynox aint. It would only degrade the image of your awesome lens.

The Raynox is very good value for money and the lens quality is quite good in the centre, less so toward the edges. That said, your macro lens is excellent and you would need a very good reason to want to use the two together. If you want more magnification I'd reverse a 50mm standard lens on the front of your macro. The rings to do that are cheap enough.

They way I did it was unscrewing the macro lens and then screwed the wide lens directly to my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. I'm holding the wide lens in my hands now, and I can see the threading on the outside. To be candid with you, the results were very disappointing. In my opinion it was a waste of time and money. Right now saving for a real Canon wide angle lens, (e.g., Canon EF-S 10-18 f/4.5-5.6 IS STM which can be had here at Amazon.com for $299.00. I hope this information is useful to you.

I own this lens, and it has become my favorite "carry around"! If you order, just make sure it is a Canon mount, as I shoot a Nikon D7000

No- the focusing distance is much too far. Great lens- but not for macro work.

Yes, it works just fine. The folks who dinged it in reviews didn't read the product description carefully. You'll need to use manual focus, and your FD lens won't focus to infinity. On the other hand, you're not introducing another optical element of questionable quality. Use it for macro.

Probably a 50 mm would work better for the job, but this macro lens works beautiful on both worlds. And it's reasonably economically

Have a look at some sample shots of this magnificent lens... http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=142739

I can answer your question, with one word.."Beautifully"................I use it with the same lens as menchioned as well as my Nikon 105 MM 2.8 Macro Lens, and I get stellar results........

Yes I believe you will especially on the 11-16mm. But I also think that shooting with that wide of lens, in most cases you could afford to crop it out if necessary.

It doesn't get super close, but it's really damn sharp. If you want to get closer, I'd suggest Sigma's 28mm f1.8 macro (they also have a 24, a 50, etc.)The macros are reviewed well enough, may not be as optimal in the corners, but for center-frame macro shots, everything else will be bokeh-d out anyway. This is more of a perfect travel lens- sharp as anything corner to corner for the landscape shots, and wide f1.8 for the people shots, while still being practical and relatively distortion-free.

I use this item as part of my macro kit because I don't want to pay for or carry around a macro lens. Having said that, I'm sure that there macro lenses out there that provide better magnification and possibly better image quality depending on the merit of whatever lens you use the 500D on. If you put this on a high quality lens (Canon L glass, zeiss, etc.) you'll be thrilled with the result, put it on an inexpensive "kit" lens and you might not be so happy. On a moderately good lens it should do well for jewelry photography.

If you attempt this your image will suffer from distortion and the image quality will be reduced. Its a good add on to the kit lens to practice macro work, but its advised that you use manual focus when doing so.

I love my combo of this lens and my OM-D E-M5. I have no problems. Focus is plenty fast for me. That lens-body combo takes my highest quality pics.

Not only will it work but it will be the best investment you will make. It's an incredible lens. I use it almost exclusively. Go for it...

I had a Canon 50mm 2.5 macro ,it is real reliable, it is an older lens, very sharp also great for portrait work it creates a soft bokeh.

No. The poor quality of this lens will not produce sharp, clear, impressive wow type photos. My opinion is to save up for a better quality lens.

Only if it's available with the appropriate Pentax mount. Historically, Can on and Pentax mounts haven't been compatible. If you can get the proper mount you will be very pleased with this lens. It even does macro well.
