macro creation over in a different section of the forum got me thinking about what I can do to get better macro shots with my point and shoot. Currently I can shoot in super macro mode and get within 5 mm of my subject, but the actual focal length (if I understand correctly) limits my ability to get as close as true macro lenses for dSLRs. In a brief search on eBay, I found "Opteka High Definition˛ 10x Pro Macro Lens" being sold for lots of different camera models, including mine (Olympus C-8080). The
auction contains more details. It basically screws on to the existing lens on the camera.
So, the question is, are these lenses of good quality? I searched a little around the net for reviews, but came up pretty dry. Anyone ever used one or know if they are worth it?
Thanks.
p.s. I apologize if this has been discussed before...if so, then just direct me to the discussion...
