Hello everybody, new around these parts. I was wondering if anybody has a good recomendation on a Macro accesory lens for my p850. Basically I do a lot of aquarium photography and I got this camera in order to upgrade an Olympus z740 I have that actually takes awesome close ups.

Any advise would be appreciated.

This I took with the Oly I want to be able to better this.

After buying these lenses, try to use the manual focus on the P850 to get the clearest close-ups possible

TY for your advise guys. Is there anything higher end that would be suitable for this camera? I looked through the link provided but everyhting I saw seems to be made with one element. Not trying to be a smartass, just want to explore all my options.

Yes they are one element but stackable to get a higher magnification! Put a +2 with a +4 and you have a +6 etc.
