Macro

[Rob9840]

Hi all, I'm wondering if I need to dial up the macro mode when using my Olympus Mcon-35 lens attachment or is this primarily for the main leica lens.
Also here are a few pics from my FZ20 which I LOVE!

You have some nice photos there.

Most people seem to think there is not much difference with or without Macro mode when using a Macro lens.

Try it and see what you think.

I just started macro/micro.

Have two concerns.
Lighting.
Camera mount

Mounted my Minolta 50mm back-wards to the FZ20 with a macro coupling ring

Takes awesome pictures with a jury rigged camera mounting.

Lighting is poor on a lot of pictures.
With the shallow DOF holding the camera/lens is difficult.

Would like to know haw you are doing it.

Thank you

Took this with a 50mm lens reversed stacked to my FZ20 with a macro ring.

What is this. It is growing! Also it is 1/2" by 1/2"
