I will be doing a deep dive exploration into the world of macrophotography. For the past few years, this venture has been limited to the world of P&S cameras. I have several of these units, each one an improvement on the other, but I was left unsatisfied. I purchased my equipment from
B&H.com. This is the best source for what I've been looking for, and the service is fantastic. My main purchase in 2009 was the Panasonic Lumix LX-3. I found it had a wide variety of applications, with the exception of it's limiting optical zoom. However, it did allow me to learn a lot about the differences between fast lenses and typical P&S lens options. I will be creating a gallery of macro shots taken with this camera so you can see the results. Although the results are aesthetically pleasing, they were not the ultimate in macro viewing. Of course, the small sensor of a P&S made enlargement rather useless, as the image began to pixelate.
