How does the macro lens work? I removed wide lens from the macro left macro on clip, but it is all blury when put on top of camera.

You need to get very close to your subject for it to focus. The Macro is for close up fine detail.

I just bought this for my D80. It works perfectly fine. If you zoom in to the max then the built-in flash will cast a shadow (the lens itself is in the way) because you are so close to the object, in that case you need external lighting. No other 'issues' (this will happen regardless of what macrolens you use, so it isnt really an issue) that I have seen, great lens.

I have this problem But I don't understand your solution, Bruce. Could you or someone explain it again please? You appear to be saying that if the camera is at something like a standard focal length you can choose both Macro and MF. But you can't - not on mine anyway! In my experience, the camera will not focus below 1ft. The image stays blurred and often the yellow central focus frame will display a question mark. Auto-focus does not work in Macro either - so to all practical purposes the camera has no Macro mode. If someone has a fix for this I'd be very interested.

I think you're supposed to be able to add filter and macro lenses to it (thin little "add on" lenses to get extreme close ups, cut glare,.. that kind of thing). The lens it comes with does not come off - as far as I can tell.

I've not tried it for macro, so can't help you there, My friend has mine in Europe now so I can't try it. Maybe if you google the question, they will know or the manual may pop-up. Aside from my SLR, this takes great telephotos.

No, the 2.2x does not work well for macro. The wide-angle lens works for macro with the included adapter. The wide-angle less uses part of the lens.

Hi. The only "macro" I see the camara has is accesible from the visible botton in the back ot the camara. I don't speak english very well. I can send you the Guide to your e-mail if you want...

The macro lens and the wide angle come together. un screw the wide angle lense and you have just the macro. screw this into the case, then start taking picture from an inch away.

There is no Macro mode on the Lens but if you use the Macro feature on the camera it will allow you to get very close and take great Macro Pictures.

I measured the attaching thread, the Macro is 12.82mm & is required for Wide. I don't know how good they work together. Macro is for close-ups & wide is for wide or big pictures. hopefully it wasn't just a convenient way to adapt the 13.8mm wide lens to the mounting 13mm hole. I just got the 'Camera FV-5 Lite APP' from Google Play .. it looks awesome, even has a stabilizer, picture timer for sharp pictures, for shaky hands.

The macro works great with this camera. I decided to purchased this camera after reading a review by a 'pro' photographer who also show examples of macro shots. Link: http://www.theinspiredeye.net/panasonic-dmc-lf1-camera-review-an-amazing-pocket-multi-tool/#more-2506

I typically keep my long lens on my Nikon D5200 camera body, lens down in one section because I use it most often, and my 2 other lenses in their own sections. Sometimes when traveling I keep my macro in a separate protective sleeve in the same section as my wide angle. I use the 3rd section for wallet, etc. There are different option, since the dividers are velcro attached.

Yes I received mine a week ago and the lens crashes into the filter; not just in macro but any time the camera struggles to focus. Reading online apparently the lens can protrude a little when focusing causing the crash. I think I got a lemon so the adapter ring is going back.Update: nevermind I'm just a dumbass. I had accidentally assembled it in the wrong order. All is good and focus works fine. Since it is possible to put together backwards it makes me wonder how many of the focus reports are just user error.

Great for Macro work and I am still experimenting with wide angle views. Best images appear at F/32 and F/45 with a 90mm 1.8 Schneider-Kreuznach , mounted on a Master Technika Linhof 4x5. Hope this helps.

works great for macros! seriously this lens is amazing for the price. You do need to be 2-3 ft away but works and looks awesome!

This lens can be separated in two pieces (unscrewed): macro part and wide angle part. So you can use it both ways: like macro lens (without wide angle part) and like wide angle with macro together.

As Mr.Rhino Said, the macro lens and wide angle lens come in 1 piece. They are very very hard to unscrew... so you might need a tool like pliers to unscrew them. Then start taking pictures from very close, like an inch away. That's normal macro distance.
