The macro function of most bridges is restricted to the wide-angle end, and because you have ran damn close, sometimes up to a cm. Shadowing and distortion are the result, and most living objects have long since fled. Here creates the Raynox DCR150 MV pleasantly remedy, and in good very good picture quality *. However, one must be over the general restrictions in macro photography and auxiliary lenses clear: the depth of field increases with larger Abbildugsmaßstab dramatically and in addition can be in the focused by lens attachments, the range is very limited. The Raynox DCR150 Macro Conversion comes with an enclosed snap on version and can thus be very easily attached to the filter thread of the lens. I use it for diameter 52mm and 55mm, since more than one year but mostly on a Lumix FZ 200 (52mm). Since the diameter of the lens is only about 36mm, it is the wide angle end to strong vignetting, although from about 3x zoom (75mm eq. KB) disappears. In any case, begins here also only the fun in macro photography. At 75mm 10cm large objects are mapped Full Frame, at 600mm there are just 1.2 cm. The depth goes from about 6 mm to about 1 mm back (of course depends on the aperture, but at f 8 the Beugugsunschärfe already falls among small pixels of a Bridge at medium magnifications deulich on). The range can be in the focus goes from about 10 - 21cm back - 21cm to about 18. The recoverable magnification ratio ranges from about 1: 3 to about 3: 1 (based on KB). The handling is really just awesome, but still here to fall on two things to point deduction (a half would have done) led: the transport box is disproportionately large - bad for compact camera bags, and when the lens is inserted into the snap-on adapter is the rear Adeckkappe can no longer put. To avoid awkward fumbling, I dasTeil wrapped in a lens cloth and placed in a small plastic bag fixed - fits a pinch in your pocket.
Conclusion: good to very good image quality in terms of sharpness and color correction, very easy to use if you choose the unconventional packaging - always with a macro, and at a fair price.
Since it has been on strike at Amazon at the time the order No vote is this possible.
* The image quality can I judge only in the overall context of the camera lens and sensor, but not the impression that by combining with the MV sharpness and color correction suffer.
