I wouldn't have bought another one but I managed to chip the lens in a couple places which made those spots on my photos. I got a very good price on this one, and it has excellent reviews. Lumix GF5. My old one was a Lumix FZ35 and had a fantastic zoom. I may try to buy another one and keep both of them!<br /><br />This one I will get the hang of. You're ahead of me since I don't even know what macro means! But this one takes nice crisp photos and is lighter. I found the owner's manual online and that has helped. I'll get the hang of it eventually.<br />Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-72327314205322499922018-01-19T17:32:06.994-05:002018-01-19T17:32:06.994-05:00What kind of camera did you get?

It's the first camera I've had that you can use different lenses on but I don't really want to buy any more.<br /><br />Have you seen the lenses you can use on smart phones? I love using my smart phone for pictures & am thinking about a macro lens for it.

I've lost the one I always carry in my pocket (carefully placed atop the dryer while my dungarees were in the washer, and then GONE) and that makes two lost in the past 6 months. Drives me a little bit nuts when I am trying to economize on everything, to lose a tool I need every single day. <br />Good luck with the new camera! I hope it soon feels like an extension of your hand and eye. Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.com
