Minimum focus is 20 feet, in case that helps you decide Tim.

And how the camera looked at one point during that day:

I rinsed it in a puddle.

Finding one could be difficult...

Would you believe I'm actually holding one as I type this? I got it in a job lot of flash gear, with a ringflash. Maybe I should stick it on ebay...

The only reference I found to it at the time was an old listing on an Aus website.

I do lot of close-up shooting with my DA*300mm, even though I have a macro lens as well. It allows good control over what's in the background.

Some examples:

[quote:3496ace15f="aliengrove"]I don't understand all this talk about colour rendering: whatever you want a file to look like as far as colour is concerned, can be done using a custom WB in-camera, or quite easily adjusted later in Lightroom or most other editing programs. I certainly would not base my choice of camera on how it renders colours.

That's definitely correct, the colour bias can be corrected in PP or making adjustments at the time, but taking two shots, otherwise identical, why should one show a magenta cast and not the other? One would think that the camera's AWB would keep them the same.

Using AWB, the camera sets the WB each time you take a shot, and small variables in the light hitting the sensor can and often will change the WB.

However, I generally use AWB (except on aerial or night shots, where it's often way out), and adjust it in PP, using the same WB setting on a series of similar shots. Of course, if shooting Jpeg, you don't have latitude for changing WB too much. If shooting infra-red, you don't have much latitude in RAW either.

Two otherwise identical shots of the same subject rendered the colour very differently. There shouldn't have been any other variables, small or otherwise. Surprising but true and repeatable![/quote]What was the lighting? Fluorescent? You'd get the variance in colour under fluorescent lighting simply because the light changes all the time, effectively switching on and off many times a second, too fast for the eye to notice, but the camera will.
