Thanks a lot!

BTW, does the adaptor have any special feature? Or can I just use a step-up ring from *** to 52mm?

***: What's the diameter of the FZ10??????

I have the Raynox adapter and I use a standart step ring to go to 62 mm (from its 52mm)
The back threads of the FZ10/20 is 64mm.

The rt5264pis a tube adapter with52mm front threads for recieving add-ons and 64mm rear threads for connecting to the fz10/15/20 (thus the 5264 in the name). Therefore, you dont need a step ring for 52mm add-ons.

Thanks for the info, perhaps I can get directly a step-down ring from 64mm to - depending on the diameter on the macro lenses.

Well, I should find a way to extend it also I guess...

64mm is the rear part of the adapter (the one that attaches to the camera not to the added lens). The front thread of the adapter is 52mm. With step ring you can go to what diameter you want.

hi all

This might be a little late. but i've got the mcon 35 and the mcon 40. I use the mcon 40 with a 55mm cring and the cring adapter.

I have been having some success with the mcon 40 but it's early days yet.

will post some pics when i take some decent ones that is. Got both the lenses from ebay.

Yeah, I use the MCON-35 on my FZ30 and love it. I picked it up off Ebay too, there is an Olympus Auction seller there, with lens and other stuff up usually, fair prices and good/quick shipping.

I got this lens mainly because my wife loves to garden and I figure when the weather gets warmer I will have lots of little things to shoot, flowers/bugs/whatever.

I am really looking forward to this spring and summer!
