dun use B300 ... just use 250D

..... set your G2 to 3x zoom + 250D ...

One more interesting point to note about the 250D/500D in conjunction with the B300...

With the B300 alone, there is a minimum focusing distance of about 4m +/- 1m... (using my Sony F707)..

If I add a 500D in conjunction to it, my minimum focusing distance is reduced to 1m and if I use 250D, it's reduced furthur to 0.5m!!!

Excellent for taking closeup shots of animals/bigger insects (eg. butterflies, dragonflies) without being too close to scare them off!

So that means yr camera would be loaded with B300+500D+250D? Man that's a lot...but does it magnify the subjects? Btw, how many lenses can be stacked up at a time???

not big enuff ? err.... how big do u want to be ?

for pro 90 10x (370mm ) + 250D will give about 2.5x magnification ...

tt is an expensive setup ...

B300+500D+250D can cost up to $500++ and I have already told you ... adding B300 will not increase the magnification ...
