Hi Tchuanye

It's unbelievable that U could shoot such great shots hand held (wow your arms must be made of steel..ha ha ha)

I would appreciate it if u could impart some of your skills to me! Have been trying out the past weeks with my FZ10 + Raynox 250 but never achieve a fraction of your results. Besides, I was never able to capture an insect e.g spider in its full size n focusing is the most frustrating part.

I believe there is not much difference in features between FZ10 & FZ30.

Btw how can I contact u other than at CS which I don't visit often.

You can PM me or visit my website below. My contact is there.

I started with the FZ10, and its doable.

Very nice photos produced by raynox. Just curious about how to shot so close... and what aperture did you usually use? Cropped? Thanks.

Apeture is stated in my original post. F11. Distance is 10cm. The +8 with the high optical zoom allows for larger magnifications.

Yes, I do crop, more for composition purposes.

I tried several times... still feel it is very hard to have an accurate focus using 75-300mm at around 200mm. It is a bit too close to the subject.
