My gmail client sometimes doesn't send plain text. Another try: I added a few samples of the raynox on the Q both the 06 zoom and 01 prime:
http://www.repiuk.nl/index.php/blog-mainmenu-97/248-q-macro Most of the images are with fill in flash from the Q flash. Scroll down and click on the image for a larger version. The raynox and 01 prime gives little extra magnification. The 06 zoom @ 45 mm has the best macro range/magnification. On both lenses the working distance is app 10-15cm didn't measure it. a simple single lens +10 diopter results in a lensbaby effect. The raynox is a three lens design.
