Down in Bamburgh for a few days - not had time to do much (family!) but snapped this with the RX10iv :) Common Whitethroat by Mike Smith, on Flickr

Not exactly a macro but I was happy enough with it :LOL: Honey Bee by Mike Smith, on Flickr

Cheers- too kind :)

Hmm - tried that in the distant past and it needs a level of commitment beyond that which I possess ;). I'm going to see what I can get with the naked lens and a crop... then probably go back to my dedicated macro setup :LOL:

Interesting, thanks Alby. The Nisi lenses certainly get you close but the dof goes wafer thin doesn't it (physics I guess so not much to be done about it)

But then again.... this review here says '(The Sony RX10 IV has a manufacturer-rated 0.70x magnification, speaking in 35mm-equivalents.)' so is that adding in the 2.7x crop factor to the 0.22x that I got? According to my arithmetic 2.7 * 0.22 should be more like 0.59 so I am a bit mystified...

Does anybody know the maximum magnification ratio for the RX10iv? The best I could do at 600mm equiv was an image around 60mm across - dividing the 1 inch sensor width (13.2mm) by 60 gives 0.22 ? Does that sound right? Cheers

Ah yes - heard of them but haven’t tried. Will investigate! Thanks

I’ve tried a Raynox and also a Marumi - is there another option? Cheers

No - I have the OM1 + 60mm + 8-25mm. If Olympus had a 12-300 that could shoot macro I'd be all over it :LOL: . It's more about trying to optimise the gear so I can get good results with the minimum amount of kit - an unsolveable conundrum but it's 'fun' trying ;)

If it close focussed a bit better I'd be selling everything else like a shot :LOL: I've tried umpteen times to get good quality macro shots with it and never really been happy with the results...

Yes I see where you are coming from and my mind is far from made up on this. There aren't really any obvious replacements - one option could be the Nikon Z 28-400 mounted on something like a Z8: you've nearly got the width then you could put it into crop mode for 600mm equivalent and still have...

Cheers - am in two minds about it but might get a rush of blood at some point!

@ajophotog I posted this on the Canon R thread (no replies!) I just wonder if you had any opinion? On the face of it the R10 and RF100-400 could replace the long end of the RX10iv quite well I think? Cheers Hi Canon folks - can you help me please with any thoughts on the following: I'm a long...
