Hello Flexers, Far from the very nice outdoors flowers presented these days, I offer you a couple of pictures made with the Digilux 3 and its zoom, exploring the macro feature. First, the basic kit, bought on the Bay for a handfull of RoRos, to use in a rainy day like today, in some basement: http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/lee/L1070590_dev.jpg Then, find anything, here is an object usually resting on the table: http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/lee/L1070576_dev.jpg Another view: http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/lee/L1070583_dev.jpg As I'm starting in this hobby, all your critisism is welcome. My lighting is probably a bit week. It would be more comfy with speed over 1/50 for each shot I did a custom white balance using a white sheet of paper inside the cube. This is really a big advantage of digital The 14-50mm of the Digilux 3 shows some capacities in the macro range. Only the minimum distance is not short enough. The other day, I tried a Summicron 35 with an Elpro 3 attachement (normally made for the summicron 90), it was not _too_ bad. Who ever tried? any feed back? But the Elpro 3 on the Summilux 50 gave a kind of image with blur. Whiel having fun I almost forgotten this wet and dull day. Thank you for watching --------------------------------- Xavier F.
