Not seen those

Raynox DCR-250 Macro Conversion Lens

before..They look pretty good..I don't have a steady hand but insects never seem to stay still long enough for me lol

My favourite cameras are my Pentax MX and my Canon T90

I used to take quite a lot of photos back in the days of film, but since the general switch to digital I've taken fewer and fewer*, and I print even less

I think I used to be quite good, in my own way, with a decent grasp of f-stops, shutter speeds, ISO ratings, etc., and my composition was usually fair, as well.

I was also competent at processing and printing black and white stock in a darkroom, which I learned at school, and which I then carried on messing about with into my late-teens/early-20s.

I was probably a fairly early adopter of digital — I still have my original Olympus C3030Z, which has a lovely Zeiss lens, and takes 3.3 MPix images.

My current digital camera is a Lumix FZ-30 which, for a fixed-lens camera, is pretty decent by most standards, but it's just not the same as film somehow




*Like many people, I took loads at first, but often lots of the same thing.

Hmmm... I think that with film I pay more attention to what I'm doing, probably because I get fewer tries, and it's more expensive.

With digital I have more of a "take a few and hope one's good" attitude, but they still usually arent as good as the single film shot.

Those super macro shots are ferking awsome, i need a cheap set up that does summink half as good as those beauties.

Zeiss lenses are superb quality Anonymiss.. I may have to invest in one of those macro snap on things,I have a 67mm lens so it will fit,decisions again lol

[Ken Erbis]

Some great pictures m8, how much are those nikon camera`s, expensive ? i`m just wondering if you could get summink with similar specs cheaper, you know all chinese`y.

 

Must be patient for insect macro or make sure they are dead

 

[Up2nogood]

Yeah..I found a dead Bumble Bee but it was a bit past decomposed..not good for macro lol

I haven't tried much macro Ken because I haven't the patience. I have tried but the slightest of winds and it's blury..

I have had my aperture on the highest to let more light in,had it on a slower shutter speed to get more light in and forget about having the ISO on more then 400 as it will look too noisy (grainy)

 

I will buy this snap on macro lens and see how it goes,have to save money up for it first though..
