Re: Camera for good close ups of wildlife

I have a Panasonic FZ30 - bit old hat now - but I also use a Raynox DCR150 adaptor. This will fit different sizes of camera and has a spring loaded ring which you squeeze open and slide over the end of the camera. The spring action then tightens the adaptor and fixes it to your camera. I got mine for about £15. They may be hard to come by but are a good investment. There is also the DCR 250 but that gets you too close and it would be difficult to take a snap of a complete insect.
