Nice captures. What would be a better advisement for the NX3000 and 50-200?

Enjoyed a quick look at your Link. Seems you like Vibrant Colors.

Do you increase vibrancy or saturation?

I like to do so but sometimes I find over do it when I look at my images a few days later.

Only sometimes I increase the saturation a little bit. In the shots shown above there was no PP at all.

These are very nice.  Did you use a closeup lens attachment with the 50-200, or crop a lot, to get as close as you did?  I do wish Samsung would crank out extension tubes or a teleconverter for their mount..

I used a Marumi DHG Achromat +5 lens for this shots. This lens is very good and so I don't need this type of lens from Samsung. I use the same lens on my Sony HX400V bridgecam and the macro results in terms of sharpness are even better.

There are 3rd party NX mount extension tubes, available from everyone's favourite online auction site.

Well look at those!  Thanks for the hint, must consider adding one of those to the bag
