Title aside, your post said "s6000." Which was it, the s6000, or the s100f? I ask because I have an s6000 and just ordered (among other auxiliary lenses) a Canon 500d macro (on which I decided, after all, despite my initial thought about the Raynox). So I'm hoping it's the s6000. Also, you mention the 250; is that the Canon 250 macro? If so, why not the 500 (which seems to have a broader focal length range)? I ask because I haven't even received my lens yet and can return it if I chose badly. Thanks.hahaha hehehehe
It's the only way to get quick responses around here...
OK then... The s100 is not a dslr... discuss.... (but first look
at my pics)

Thanks so much; and needless to say, great shots. Though surely your skill had much to do with it, they reinforce my view that the s6000 is a special camera. I've spent a year unable to pull the trigger on buying a DSLR because I shoot and scan 4x5 for large prints and for small prints, can't see a big enough advantage in a DSLR over the s6000. I'm confident that this has much to do with the 6mp on a relatively large (for a digicam) sensor, this combined with standard Fuji colors. (Maybe DPR's reporting on density will begin finally to bust the idea that more megapixels are always better.) So while I like what I see of the s100, except for image stabilization, I'm not sure I see a huge advantage, and the s100 costs more than twice as much as I paid for my s6000. Thus my purchase of accessory lenses for the s6000. Thanks again.Actually it is the S6000.. I was being funny about how nothing but
S100 posts get answered... it was just a little joke.
The 250 I was refering to is the raynox... the canon 250/500's are
very good pieces of glass.
A general rule with the macro adaptors is the less the magnification
the more depth of field/focus you get. So the fly may not be as big
in the frame but more of it is in focus. You can see on my last
shot of the fly that the DOF is very tiny.
The first two shots are with the Sony 3358 which is very similar to
the Canon 250 - two achromatic elements and it screws on to the 58mm
thread just like the canon 250d will.
The sony is 3.3x and the canon 250 is 4x
You will have a lot of fun with it.

Hi Christa,I'm leaning more and more towards keeping my "old" s6500, as well, despite > having just bought a DSLR.
Really nice macros. My favorite is #1, though Sexy Sadie's
great-great-great-grandniece (or whatever) gets a vote, too![]()
Tony thanks for the comment, I liked that fly shot too. I forget sometimes how well these small sensor cams do macros. You make your S100 macro shots look almost effortless. Yet I know bug macros are never easy.What'd happened to your pentax? Damaged ?
