Re: Where can I purchase a macro accessory lens for the EX2F?
that shows the adapter barrel and filters. But I'm most interested in an added macro attachment for the camera. My last camera was a samsung sl420 and I often needed to take closer macro than the camera was capable of in order to post images of smd (surface mount devices and miniature circuit boards) to electronics forums. I discovered that a front element scavenged from a decent pair of binoculars (cheap at any goodwill) was a useful optic to hand-hold in front of the lens. Auto focus worked as usual and I was able to get very detailed and useful macro shots. Edge barreling (redundant?) was unacceptable for fine photography, but the section of board focused upon was perfectly clear.
I was excited to see that the EX2F, which I have ordered and should arrive in a week or so, sported a threaded barrel capable of accommodating an accessory macro front lens. But strangely I cannot find a single reference to it beyond the site I linked that does not ship to the U.S. Samsung "tech" chat was less than helpful. He informed me that the knurled ring on the lens was not removable. Where do they hire these guys from?
