Bestcamera's are local but nothing like they were years ago when Ken and Keith were there. The 55-300mm is OK but hasn't got an aperture ring which rules out using it with simpler converters. Manual focus is difficult on it as well, it's quite sharp though.

Wouldn't a 90-105mm MF macro possibly with an A setting off ebay do?
Vivitar, Elicar, Tamron?

Agreed shim, although they where ok up to about 5 years ago when they did s/h stuff and a guy called Harry worked there, he was always very helpful and knowledgeable. Did you ever deal with Keith and Paul @ keyfoto?. Any good macro 90mm + would be fine, don't mind manual focus in fact prefer it for macro work, do need auto for exposure though.

Last week there was a secondhand Sigma 105mm in Cameraworld in Chelmsford for £275, mint condition with case and 6 month guarantee. Might be worth checking if they've still got it.

Hi shim, just had a look at the site, those are great prices for the Gx20, wouldn't mind one myself but need a good macro lens first. Had a look on Bestcameras site, I see the price of the 55-300 has gone up £40(now£239.99) Tried to get a price for the Sigma 105 macro from them but they haven't bothered answering my e-mails....their loss.

Mike, thanks for that always handy to know.

Bob, thanks for your info, very helpful and informative stuff. By the sound of it this is not the lens I need, manual focus is fine but I do need auto exposure for the insects and stuff(those butterflies just wont keep still)

Many thanks fellas

Hi All, Been looking for a macro lens for a while and I have just come across this on ebay(see link) Can any members give advice on this lens pls, as I don't have much knowledge of the older stuff. I know its manual focus which is fine, but will the metering system work Ok with this lens on my camera! and what kind of price should would be reasonable

Any help would be most appreciated

ps cant seem to get a direct link posted for ebay.
