    Question DX-1G and Macro

    XMas is approaching and my dreams-box is still empty.... Is any using macro lens with DX-1G with effective results?

    My concern is about the 'darkness' of embedded-lens, however I'm looking for the S&S Close-up lens 125 with adapter, such as:

    or it's better an INON (if adapter available)?

    HI Andrea-
    As you mentioned, the DX-1G will accept the Close-Up Lens 125 (#52119) with adapter ring (#58119). The close-up lens will offer a 1.25x magnification paired with the macro close-focusing distance capabilities of the Dx-1G at 1cm you have a good option for super macro on a compact digi.
