Thanks, Toine. The quality looks very good. I definitely will be looking at the Roynox again. Also thanks for pointing out the Q lens roadmap - great to see the work 'macro' on it! Mark On 3/31/2013 5:37 AM, Toine wrote: I added a few samples of the raynox on the Q both the 06 zoom and 01

Funny effect on the wings. Pentax has a telephoto macro on the lens road map. For now I'm happy with the raynox 250 in front of the 06 zoom. The internal flash works with this setup (no shadow from the lens). I "build" a flash diffuser. http://www.repiuk.nl/index.php/blog-mainmenu-97/248-q-macro
