Cool, that looks nice and clear. I haven't played with the 'el cheapo' Macro lens I bought off ebay. I will have to try it out now!

I bought a set of 4 lenses: +1, +2, +4 and the Macro lens for something like $25... yeah, yeah, yeah.. I know, "How good can they be?" They work for ME and I'm content (for now). I'm still playing and learning. But, it's fun anyways.

I've just brought a macro addition to fit my cokin filter holder. I havn't tried it yet though as it has gone off to Santa so I'll have to wait until Christmas. (My wife has wrapped it up)

Has anyone else used a Macro addition to the cokin filter set? What were the results like.

Gjtoth, The coin looks stunning. If I am not mistaken, has it also picked some dust or something up on the coin itself? I'm off to ebay to have a search and see what I can find :-)

A little dust, perhaps. More than likely little nicks and and scratches from other coins in my pocket. I was just playing around with the lens and needed a quick subject.

Let me know how you make out on finding something. I believe I still have the seller of my lens set somewhere. Interested?

Yes Please. I have had a quick look but there are so many options.
I'd like to see the type of set you brought.

By the way, I was not meaning it in a derogatory way about the dust. I meant that the lens was that good that it had picked it up on the coin.

Gee, Andy... I must be going blind! I totally blew by your request for the place were I got those lenses. I'm really sorry.

Here's the place:

Cheers Gary, (opps Just realised I've been spelling your name wrong all this time and you never told me:o)
Is this the type of set you brought?

I'll forgive you for passing me by, after all, you have other things on your mind at the moment, like that shiny new package that should be arriving today;)
