i'm not an accomplished pixel peeper, but are the shots slightly oversharpened? if not, it's really damn impressive for a compact digicam.

i love all the shots!! very good selection here. some pple take good shots but post the bad along with the good, kinda turn off

i say only ah, there's a reason why i seldom post my pix

i love all the shots (did i say tt before), but to pick my fav of the lot, it's pic 2 . pic 1 to me is the nicest looking. most meaningful is the last pic

Different usages actually. Using compact cameras with Raynox Macro lenses like DCR250 or MSN202, the focusing distance becomes extremely short. For the MSN202 that is used for these shots, focusing distance is ard 4cm. Thus, if your intention is to take larger insects e.g. crickets, butterflies etc, the focusing distance of the Raynox lenses will become a liability. Thus, a macro lens with a DSLR will be better in this instances.

Thxs bro... Yes it is true... This set up cant take subject more than 30cm... So this is good in small subject... Another good tin about Lx3 is when u wan to take bigger subject just remove the filter it should do just as nice... (But not he DSLR standard)

I think it should be 3cm not 30cm...

At 12X zoom on my Canon S3 with DCR250 attached, my SD card is already filling up more than the entire view...

Bro I am using also the Raynox 250 in my Fz30... Ususal I wont zoom to 12X as the DOF is very shallow... As for Msn 202 2.5x zoom My Dof was better than my Fz series... Also I was able to control my whites...
