Bought a set of 4 off the bay and finally had a chance to try them after work today on the MF3 Pana G80.
I took the advice of @woof woof and sixed them for the bigger lens with a step up ring for the 12-60mm, and as the 12-60mm is on the G80 I used the ring and went with that, and chose the strongest X10 mag for a trial in the garden.
First thought - A thick convex lens like this is best for small rounded objects as the area of focus seems to be small, makes sense but all new to me.
Second thought - It's pretty good, the evening light was fading but pleased for my first attempt, only used a Sigma 150 before tonight.
Quite pleased with this one. I have not cropped it. I must have had the focus on the lower part of the flower, The hairs look good until the back of the bud, but I like it.
This is the kind of shape I'm guessing the X10 will be best for, or head-on shots maybe. I don't think I kept it steady enough, so not the sharpest and there was little light to work with.
Needed some work, but ok-ish for a first try at a spider.
This one pleased me, the original aim point was around the torso, and the tail is OOF but it gave me something for the following picture.
Tickled pink with this, it's not an award winner but I love it all the same.
I used a garden stick for an anchor/stability BTW
Just as a reference, this is one of the best I managed a few years back with a smartphone. It's been edited.
Although the leg is pretty sharp, I don't think it compares to a camera and lenses.
