Macrolens for Panasonic-FZ5?

[avo]

Hi everybody!

Does anybody here has a Fz5, so that can advise me what kind of macrolens can I buy?

What bothers me is the diameter of the lens and the fact that I have to put it on the the adapter that goes with the camera, but not directly on the camera's lens, which means there will be a space of 2-3 cm between the macrolens and the camera's lens:sado I need another adapter or not?

If you have the lens adapter the size should be printed on that. If you don't like how a marco goes onto a point and shoot cam then you should buy a DSLR.

Hi Avo,

You may want to look over in the Panasonic forum. Many good posts over there on the subject plus post like this one --> http://www.stevesforums.com/forums/v...;highlight=fz5

Fred is an excellent resource and very knowledgeable on the fz1/2 and fz5 with add on lens options.

Enjoy the read.
