Wow thanks George what a load of info to help me out ..

I shall take my time to find the ultimate bargin now I have some Ammo .

Ill look for Tubes and reversing ring because I would like to have a play with them whilst Im trying to secure a lens..

I also have some bits I was using on my S5500 I have a Hoya Zoom Close Up Lens which goes from 0.1 to 0.49m and of corse I have some Macro filers old -vivtars 1 2 and 4..

Im gonna search my herat out now , can anyone recommend a few older 35m lenses that would be worth keeping a eye out..

Thanks again George

Hi first post ..

I have always been in to Photography and have always had basic cameras , but now im slowly moving up in my needs ..

I recently Purchased a K100d Super to be my new best camera replacing my Fuji Finepix s5500 although im keeping that little gem ..

Ah oh yeah im wandering .. Im looking to buy myself a lens that is cheap / Cheapish which will enable me to do Macro Insect photography ..

Now I really am a newbie to the Slr world and Im really confused with the different lenses that are available on Ebay etc ..

Now I have purchased two 2nd lenses already and Im very happy with them as they cost peanuts and give good results ..

I got a Super Paragon PMC II 35-70mm 1:3.5~4.5 which goes from 3.5 -22 on the Ap ring .. it doesn't get nowhere as close as I want to ..

My 2nd lens I got was a Pentax - A zoom 1:4 70~200mm and that is 4-22 Ap ring..

Both were really cheap and seem to do ok so im happy but still no really macro power yet ..

Oh and my K100d came with the SMC Pentax DA 18-55 ..

I dont know what all the numbers mean but I want to get close can anyone help me ?

and sorry for the long post but Im well lost ,Regards Dave
