    So I bought this macro lens kit and tube adapter for my camera on ebay.  It was only $30, shipping included, so I thought, what the heck.........  I wasn't even trying to get a nice photo when I started pointing and shooting and this is some of what I got.  Needless to say, I'm happy with my purchase and can't wait to try the 2+ and 4+ lenses /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0">  Looks like I need to clean my glass too /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/blush.gif

    This is the camera I have, the Fuji Finepix 550 
    I initially wanted it because I could put on different lenses if I wanted and it wasn't terribly expensive.  It's an ok camera, but there are certain things I don't like about it...........

    After seeing those pics i decided to spend a little dough myself and get some lenses. I was a little leary because they seemed a little cheap but from the looks of it, they do the job.

    Nice pictures, I especially like the last one of your extremely cute fragglet!
    I too had considered buying a macro lens for my Canon and I may give er a go.  I keep waiting for the camera fairy to stop by and hit me with her wand because I just can't get decent pictures but I've determined to learn.  
    Keep the pictures coming!

    I just got the Bower Digital Macro kit from Ebay. And well...it is one of those things where you get what you pay for i guess. I tried stacking all the lenses for +6 magnification and to be honest +6 just isn't enough, now i want a real macro lens cause the cheap kit i bought is just a tease.
