Yeah, get a polariser filter.
May I know how much did you pay for the adaptors and the filters? Perhaps you can pm me. I am looking to get these but I am so so confused on what is available (3rd party or original).

Anybody knows what's the mode and settings to take a nice spider shot like this?
F8 at 1/125 with flash.

I am no expert myself. Just sharing.yeah...still learning..point noted that reducing the aperture may help the washed out look... but how does DOF help prevent overexposure? maybe i missing out something...:embrass: havent read fully the link tho' :sweat: thanks!..another link into my favourite!
You can try the 'P' mode 1st
and experiment on what settings the camera choose for you on different lighting.
Then after, you can start playing with shutter or aperture priority.

I tired to shoot some ants just now but just couldn't get the effect. Are you using MF and manual mode? Do I need a diffusser for my flash?
u know what...i will do that next time i am out with my camera...to date have not tried taking in P mode..damn!
oh yeah..i just did a read in a DCworld mag about using small ap vs wide ap...think u lead me in the right direction. i havent been toggling my ap much most of the time its open wide! :nono:

I believe the spider was taken with the aid of RAYNOX Macro Converter in "A" mode. Yes, you need to use a diffuser (a DIY will do). Without diffuser your shots will be washed out.

Here is an image of Raynox MSN 202 mounted on LX3
How do u resolve the issue of not being able to use ring flash with the MSN 202?
LX3 Macro shot with pop-up flash only.
LX3 Macro shot with pop-up flash and diffuser placed at the edge of the lens on the left side.
LX3 Macro shot with pop-up flash and diffuser placed at the edge of the lens on the top side.
LX3 Macro shot with pop-up flash and reflector placed at the edge of the lens on the top side.
Hopes this helps. If anybody has better solution for macro flash, plse do share.

Macro best have tripod. as for vignetting I think it is due to your tube attachment, or u aint at full zoom when u took the picture. btw I am new to digital photography and macro too.
