Hi all,
I have been playing around with macro for a couple of years, but on a Fuji S9600 bridge camera and my DCR-250. I recently upgraded to a Panasonic G1 with kit 14-45mm lens and just can't get the magnification I used to have on the Fuji (although the IQ is a billion times better).
I can't justify buying the dedicated macro for ~£750 for the G1, so what are my alternatives ?
The DCR-250 instructions say to always use the longest focal length of the lens it's attached to. Is this right ? Would the 45-200 kit lens give me more magnification, or just an even smaller DOF ?
Any ideas ?
Cheers,
Daniel.
