rivkid, what did you go for in the end? the DCR or the telezoom/wide angle job?  Did you choose the Raynox one?

I have just bought a random selection of cheapo filters from 7dayshop to try out, UV, ND, Circ Polar, Blue gradient one and two others.  They were only about 5pounds each.  



The raynox dcr. I thought I would get more use out of it than the others

So, how have you got on with your Macro lense?  Must say I have not had much chance to do much with it but have to say its incredibly good for how much it cost.  Only annoyance I have is that because the way the zoom on the camera works (digital zoom, two buttons) it takes ages to set up the tripod zoom the correct level and focus.  I find setting the camera up at a set position and then moving the item I was playing with into focus easier/quicker.  Very impressed though.  Some shots to follow.

Thats the best way of doing it. Zoom in to adjust the max/min aperture you can get on your camera, like mine on full telephoto goes from f2.8 - f8 but on wide goes from f3.2 - f9.

Then either shove focus on manual and move your camera closer and further away to get the correct focus, rather than relying on actually focusing with everything staying still.
