It's probably more like 8-12" but sometimes I am closer. If I back up too much they may leave the area and come towards me. If I stay close they will usually stay where they are and I can get the shot. I have to be quick, though, because they like the camera and will go right up to the lens when I am close or will fly to me when I back off. I've looked through photos I've taken with the 14-42 and most of them are taken at 20 - 30 mm.

Then I suggest the Panasonic 30mm Macro with OIS.

I will check that out.  Thanks.
