Could you provide a few more details? -- pschatz100 It's not how many pixels you have... but how you use them.

I plan to do this. As you say, the adapters are cheap enough. Have you seen any difference between the Fotodiox and Fotodiox Pro adapters? The 90-105mm f2.8 macro lenses tend to be rather large...

I am shopping for a macro lens, with a focal length 90-105mm. There are lots of good choices available in Pentax, Canon, Nikon, and Adaptall-2 mounts. I am only looking at manual focus lenses...

I was on the fence between Panasonic and Olympus. Came across the two lens E-PL2 kit at a very good price and grabbed it. The E-PL2 is a bigger step up from the previous Olympuses (Olympii ?),...

So far, so good, but there is no place for a coffee cup. -- pschatz100 It's not how many pixels you have... but how you use them.

Thanks for your comment. I was looking at this one, along with similar units on eBay, and was concerned that I might be disappointed with a lack of precision in the fit and finish. I like...

I have been using an E-PL2, 40-150mm Oly zoom and Canon 500D close-up lens with great results. However, moving the camera and tripod around to achieve the right framing and focus is time consuming...

+1 I find that an "appropriate" depth of field is what makes a striking portrait - and it is not always the least DOF or the most DOF. Faster lenses give more options, but that doesn't mean one...

I have spent quite a lot of time over the last few days, reading about close up lenses, and the Canon 250D and 500D in particular. I finally understand what they do, how they are different, and...

One has to learn how to shoot very wide angle lenses. Assuming that you want to minimize the distorted look, there are a couple of things to think about: 1) Avoid putting straight lines near...

Olympus makes a 58mm Close-up +1 lens that is very inexpensive. They list it as compatible with the 40-150mm m43 zoom. However, it is very inexpensive so I presume it must be a single element...

Michael, Thanks for your comments. I have been looking at the Canon 250D and 500D close-up lenses, and am confused about which one would be better for the 40-150mm. According to many...

I've been reviewing the threads about using close-up lenses with the Oly 14-150mm and 40-150mm lenses for macro shots. My question is a little different. I shoot food and table settings. I...

I'm in the market for a sling pack. Which one do you use? -- pschatz100 It's not how many pixels you have... but how you use them.

Not certain what other lenses the OP is comparing his lens to. I have an E-PL2 with the 14-42 mkII kit lens, and I find it pretty darn good. In fact, I was going to buy the 17mm f2.8 pancake and...

Although I try to keep the iso at 1600 or below, I have been able to get pretty good pictures at iso 3200 with my E-PL2. The secret is to avoid underexposing the image. There will be noise in...

I use polarizing filters all the time. It is one of the filters that cannot be duplicated in software. I have good B&W polarizing filters. I don't mind spending the money on something I use...

I often shoot at iso 1600 with my E-PL2 and usually get pretty good results. The secret is not to underexpose the shot. I have used iso 3200 on occasion, and none of my friends ever commented...

The E-PL2 has a higher resolution LCD, uses the new expansion port for accessories, and also supports the latest high capacity SD memory cards. -- pschatz100 It's not how many pixels you...

By far, it's the art filter I use the most. -- pschatz100 It's not how many pixels you have... but how you use them.
