Since buying my Canon Powershot G2 in 2003, I haven't used my 35mm SLRs/lenses since. I never wanted to grab my ankles for the Canon wide/macro lens set. Just found these on Ebay: A lens adapter that screws on the lens mount after the trim ring is removed:

Now I have excellent macro capability with my G2- for under $50.

I like my Sony DSC H1, and would like to buy the new model, as it has 20x optical instead of 12x. Macro has minimum distance of 13/16" focus. Just posted some closeups on flickr, too. Used to use it for ebay for some fine items, and it works great. New technology is something else. I haven't used my Canon AE-1 in six or seven years. They are great for archiving, and posting to the group through flickr and the like.

Some shots I just took to show how to flame cut thin metal:

I would like to try some through the helmet photography of actual welding puddles, and see how that does. Would take some setup, tho. Maybe even some movies, as I have a HD TV camera, but I'm afraid a wild dingleberry would fall in just the right crevice and POOF! Might try the stills, tho, and wrap the camera in foil.

I can zoom in on a spider with my Olympus Evolt. A macro adapter is on the wish list though!
