saifulbahar said:Hi,
Sorry, I'm still getting used to the Lumix accessories... Enlighten me...
FZ10- The camera of course
6T - ???
Sigma CU - Close up lens? which one?
Ext bounce flash - Got that one
Thanks in advance
saifulbahar said:Hi tchuanye, I had just bought the 6T after seeing your photos but couldn't find the Sigma Achromatic Macro Lens. Do you or anyone knows where I can buy this?
Thanks in advance.
saifulbahar said:I see... thanks for the info. From your experience, besides the expensive 5T, is there any other options? I was using HOYA +3 but was not happy with it. I'll try to combine both and see what happens...
thanks anyways... great photos... hope to shoot that way one day...
airconvent said:hi
anyone can explain the difference between a macro +4 filter and a close up filter? I have the macro +4 but at 12x zoom on my fz5 and in macro mode, I had to hold the camera about 30 cm away from the object which is too much for me..
will the "closeup" help narrow this gap?
tchuanye said:A +4 filter is a Close up filter. It is like a magnifying glass.
The 30cm is the working distance, and its a plus point.....allows good distance not to disturb subjects, and allows ext flash to provide lighting....
Not sure what is good for you.....you should be looking at end results..wht magnification it gives you....
Side issue: I just don't understand the claims of 0 cm macro distance as a plus point! only if you are taking still objects, that is fine....but you must have good lighting etc...which at 0 cm, should have some shadow???
airconvent said:oops..kust posted the same question under the "macro" section before you replied...so it looks like its a matter of skill rather than technical limitatins...sigh..thanks for the reply...
