If you check the exif data on my Flickr photos it should tell you what was used for that particular photo

In my bag I carry a Canon 18-35L F4, 24-104L F4, 70-200L F2.8 and of course the 100mm L Macro F2.8.
Also keep a 1.4 and 2.0 Teleconverter and an extension tube plus two Speedlites, graduated filters, ND filters and polarising filter.

That covers most eventualities

I would love to have the Canon 200-400 F4 with integrated teleconverter but I need a lottery win for that one

Morning Jeff,
I will check out the data from your photos on Flickr.

At this stage I'd like to do finely detailed portraits of my dogs. Worthy of hanging on the wall.

Hello everyone, I own a Kodak Pixpro AZ526 (please don't laugh as it serves me very well). I am looking to buy a budget macro lens for it. Are these lens a standard fit or do they come in different sizes? If anyone could advise and point me in the right direction then that would be great

Most of us talking here have cameras on which you can swap lenses. Yours looks like a bridge camera with a fixed lens. You may have a macro setting you can use or maybe you can fit an extra lens onto your existing lens. I'll have a quick google.

After a quick google I think you have a macro setting. Give that a go (or maybe you have)

I'll have a play around and see if it has Paul. The inside rim of the Len's cap has what appears to be a thread to screw in an additional lens

That's probably to screw in a filter which I have done, but I've only done it to protect the lens.
Canonite linked to a product the other day that might do the trick.
Your camera will have a macro function of sorts though, as Paul mentioned.

Some good ones in there. I like 995 and 027 the best
I reckon you could lower the flash output a smidge. I think it might look a little better and it would lower the flash duration as well.

Cheers Paul, I will have a go at that.
I'm thinking of getting a flash attachment like yours to better direct the light. Where did you get yours from? I don't know what the correct name is for them!

I went out today to a local National trust woodland. I photographed an evil looking insect, no idea what it is, I'll post it up in a bit.
