Panasonic FZ50 macro lens

[mc_fly]

Hi
I need a closeup lens for my fz50.

What is a good lens? I need to get real close on nonmoving objects.

Where can I find the lens.

Regards
Jonathan

How large are the objects?

The Raynox 150 or 250 are good glass. For that matter, any achromatic lens would be good.

See here for a list of some:

I guess the objects are as small as coins. But I need very hight detail quality.

I could not find anything on that list. Is there a particular one I should look at?

The Raynox 150 may do the job.

Personally I have the raynox 250, Nikon 6T and the Sigma CU lens. All are good lens.

I do not see any Raynox lenses on that link.

Will the 150/250 fit the FZ50?

The RC150 and RC250 come with a very handy plastic clip that fits 52 to 67 mm threads so alsoo the 55 mm from your FZ50. I use both on my FZ50 and they are of high quality.

The most popular & tested closeup lenses for the FZ cameras are (no particular order) Leica Elpro 2, Nikon 3T or 4T or 5T or 6T, Olympus B macro or Mcon 40, Raynox DCR 150 and DCR 250.

Your camera has 55mm threads so the Leica and Olympus would thread directly on. The Nikons would require a stepring 55to62 for the 5T or 6T, 55-52 for the 3T or 4T (Nikons are out of production but can be found on Ebay) The Raynox's have a clipon adapter that attach to the camera.

Do a search on this forum for closeup or Macro to see samples.
