Macro Lens

[ChrisB]

After looking at several macro shots (especially these ) I would love to purchase a macro lens to suit my Fuji S5500.

Does anybody know if I can get one to fit and also can anybody recommend a good supplier?

I am expecting the lens to be quite expensive for some reason, so I could possibly be interested in a 2nd hand lens??!!

Any thoughts?

Chris.

I don't think you can change the lens on a s550?

you can't, but you can use 55mm (Ithink) screw on close up adapters. have a look around the forums on dpreview and you should be able to find the info you need on which ones are compatible.Either that or google for it.

This works a treat on the Fuji S5xxx cameras for macro photography, apparently, and only £36:

Or you can try this one:

You could try close up filters like the one GfK has linked too.
They come in different strengths, so get a couple to give you some scope.
Don't buy the cheapo's though as the images tend to be very soft.
