The level of detail you can get is astounding though, great tip, thanks.

Main thing for me is the vastly improved image quality versus the standard macro zoom results.Skevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601888498478097564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246763419709722582.post-1420355417217540812012-05-20T22:22:02.865+01:002012-05-20T22:22:02.865+01:00Thanks Mark, now ordered!

It's really good as you can quickly and easily clip on/off as required. No additional adaptor required.<br /><br />Hoping the weather picks up this week - will be typical that after such a prolonged duff spell it goes manic and there's not enough free nights to capitalise!Skevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601888498478097564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246763419709722582.post-86740742893213339112012-05-20T20:58:27.284+01:002012-05-20T20:58:27.284+01:00Mark, it's just as rubbish down here in Dorset...Mark, it's just as rubbish down here in Dorset. Very interested in the Raynox. Amazon seemed to imply you needed to buy an adaptor as well as the lens. Can you confirm/refute this please?<br />I have a Lumix FZ-45.
