Lenses for Insect Shots

[SilverSurfah]

Hi very very noob here.
Just bought a 2nd hand FZ30 and want to take close up shots of insects or birds.
Anyone can give pointers on what lenses I should get?
Preferably not too top end...still learning.
Thanks!!

The Raynox 150 for a start. Or Raynox 250, which have a steeper learning curve.

Or any good double element close up lens. Some list can see here:

But not sure if all are available here in Spore.

OOPS! :embrass:

I'm not familiar with this cam. Any thread on the lens? Else, can attach a closeup filter. :dunno:
