Re: Macro and High res woes
I like to use diopters with my 5050.
The super macro specifies a focal length of 59mm (equiv to 35mm), has a
very short lens to subject distance of 1 inch and has barrel distortion.
I have a Hoya doublet +10 diopter which gives around 1.4 times the
magnification of the "super macro" at a lens to subject distance of
2 3/8 inches with no distortion. Being a doublet, it has excellent
quality.
Here's a comparison picture.

Here's a picture showing the super macro compared to +4 and +2 single
element diopters. That combination equals the magnification of the SM
with a lens to subject distance of 3.2"
