Re: G1X + Cross Filter (PICS) + Milky Way test

Very cool indeed. Marco, I posted a question to you regarding macro and telephoto converters for G1X in this thread:

Hope to get some advice from you.

In case you prefer to reply in this thread, here is a copy of my question:

Hi Marco Nero,

Could you please advise if it's possible to "transform" G1X into a prior G-like camera using existing lens adaptors? I mean is there a macro adaptor for G1X that would make it possible to do 1cm macro shots (like G12 does)? And is there an adaptor to extend telephoto from 4x to 6x (like G9 for example) or larger?

I am seriously considering G1X but I really like shooting macro and also find the extra zoom very useful for compression effect. So far I can only see moving to G1X as a combo with one or even two other compacts/super-zooms. But I would rather use one camera with one or two adaptors which would still be a much smaller and lighter combination than any DSLR or even ILC (IMO). But I am not sure if such adaptors exist. You seems to be very familiar with this kind of equipment. Appreciate your advice.
