Nice shot Alby. I have the FZ28/38/35.
Ive often thought about getting a Raynox 202 myself. A couple of questions, when you have time please mate.
How useful is the raynox 202, when attached to the FZ range? Can you capture usable images through out the zoom range?
What was the FZ38 zoom range for this shot of yours? Cheers Paul.

With the msn 202 there is a bit of a learning curve required as the DOF is paper thin. This was shot at the wide end of the zoom. You do get used to it after a while and laying the focal plane in the best place comes eventually. It usefulness really does depand on what you are shooting. Thanks for passing by Paul.

Thanks for the extra info on the Raynox 202 Alby, im not in a rush to buy one (I normally wait until a 2ndhand one comes along) but I would still like to try one with my FZ50, because I think the FZ50's f/11 could work well with the 202. Cheers Paul.
