Olympus SP-560 ~ Using the B-Macro Lens 11/21/07

It was partly cloudy and windy but, I wanted to try to test the B-Macro lens before winter sets in.
It will be spring before I see much color and some of my favorite subjects outside. There isn't much left right now, but I was able to find a few things to shoot.
These were all shot in Aperture Priority with the B-Macro using Auto High Iso, original jpgs, downsized and sharpened with Qimage.
PB210804 has been cropped and most were taken in Macro Mode.
All of these insects were extremely small. I have included a full shot of the orange flower @21mm (also taken with the B-Macro) for comparison.
The B-Macro is not listed as one of the usable teleconverters by Olympus...wonder why?

I can't wait for Spring to arrive!!!

Hi Lan Lan, The B-Macro is a discontinued Olympus lens. It wasn't specified for the C2100UZI either, but it worked greated with it! There are still used ones for sale. For specifications which should answer your questions, I found this site:http://www2.computeruniverse.net/urlmapper2.asp?mapurl=/products/e90042943/olympus-macro-konverter-b-macro.asp&urlmapped=true Hope this helps. ;-)
