- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I have shot random subjects for a few weeks now and would like to begin concentrating on a particular technique, then move on to something else, etc. After doing some reading and looking, I find myself drawn to macro photography. I believe that the most interesting things in life can often be those which we would normally overlook.
That being said, I'm not sure I want to spend a lot for a macro lens, so I'm considering a close-up lens (or a set, 1x, 2x, and 4x) for my Pentax cameras (ZX-M and ZX-7).
What are people's experiences with these lenses? Are you pleased with the results? Were they easy or difficult to use? What are some potential drawbacks? Do you wish you had just sprung for a macro lens? I read elsewhere on this forum that they may be difficult to use with AF. Any other insights or experiences with these?
Thanks. :thumbup:
