  and Adorma are two I've used, but there are other reputable dealers.

I haven't used these closeup lenses, but from what I gather, the 250D is recommended for use with focal lengths from 50mm to 135mm, and I think would be preferred on your 28-80 zoom rather than the 500D. The 250D allows focus to about 250mm (~9.8") when the lens is at infitity focus. The 500D is recommended with telephoto lenses to 300mm, and allows focus to about 500mm (~19.7") at infinity focus.

  Goofed up my typing. Meant to include B&H Photo as well as Adorama.
