Update. Many more lenses for sale now, just drop me a note, thank you.

Hello Joel,it seems we have different approaches to macro photography. To me macro photography is connected to high magnification, to see a lot of detail. You get this by selecting a high zoom...

Hi Sherm,I had to translate 'intrigued' and am glad it's positive :-)No, the closeup lenses are not 'fixed distance' only. As a rule of thumb their focal length is the *maximum* working distance at...

Hello Joel,the LX7 offers so little magnification that I think it is hard to compare to an FZ150/200 in regard of macro photography.Here's an example with a Canon 250D 4dpt achromat. The most upper...

Well, I did not have all teleconverters available when starting that thread, you'll find some info on the LT55 later. I consider it weaker than both the 1.7x Olympus converters, and I have never...

I had started my thread 'FZ200 with teleconverters - tests and comparison' (FZ200 with teleconverters - tests and comparison) 4 months ago. It was highly appreciated and had a lot of traffic, now...

Hello Old Sea Dog,thank you very much for your kind words and appreciation. With your set of lenses you can cover a very broad range of distances, and the Sigma (AML, I suppose) is so small you can...

Here one more update:Updated 23-Feb-2013

That will be very interesting, I got some cheap filters here as spacers but have never taken the time to experiment with them. Now I'm curious, thank you.

You are probably talking about Dr. Ching-Kuang Shene's pages: http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/DigiCam/, still being referenced quite often.Thank you for confirming it's not worth looking for an LTZ10...

Farer away, and a longer focal length, 2 weeks later. (Other photos from that location here [LX7]: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50792468)

I was talking about one single shot. You press the shutter button once and then you have one shot, with up to 250s exposure time. You want multiple exposures?

I have the Olympus counterpart from that link. Have not tried it on an FZ200, but it works on the LX7. Thought it might be a good travel tele for the LX7 because it's quite small, with a 52mm...

Go to Manual Mode M, select the speed with the thumb wheel, up to 250s is possible, depending on ISO.

Really LOL, now that's cool! Thanks Rudy :-)

Please see my answer to your posting here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50873724.From my experiences the Canon and Nikon are the only converters to meet your specific criteria.

Hello Emil,I had been interested in the LTZ10 for some time but could not find any solution for fixing it on an FZ200 ... Do you have any comparison shots to see how the E17ED compares to it? Do...

Rahul, people have been shooting with all those teleconverters on their FZ150s at f/5.2, and have got excellent results as well!Now that the FZ200 offers f/2.8 do not think you will be disappointed...

Suggesting four: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50608537, plus a fifth: Olympus TCON-17. I am sure I had a bad one when doing that testing, got another one now and it's better, pretty close...
