View Full Version : Macro lens 777heavy 05-17-2005, 12:47 PM Hi, Do you guys recomend any good macro lens for a FZ 20? Or any good macro lens w/ or near the specs of 72 mm thanks Lava Lamp 05-17-2005, 06:00 PM Hi, Do you guys recomend any good macro lens for a FZ 20? Or any good macro lens w/ or near the specs of 72 mm thanks I have the Tamon 90mm and it is superb. Most 100mm macros have a really good reputation and are relatively inexpensive. The Sigma version is said to be very good and the Vivitar, too, which is only $100 or so. Flight 05-18-2005, 10:58 AM What is the difference between a macro lens and lenses that magnify? I have three lenses (x2, 3, and 4) I've been wanting a macro lens but am wondering if I need one.

They extend quite a bit more than a regular lens and offer failry minute adjustments. You can use the X2, 3, etc. close-up lenses (or diopters) but the quality isn't as good as a maco lens and you end up moving the camer aback and forth to focus.
