My new PaS camera sucks for macro work, so I'm looking for an inexpensive
macro lens for my D-90. Any recommendations?

Thanks, JR

I don't know about others experience with the Pentax Optio W80, but I am
very satisfied to this point. The only thing that I didn't see coming was
the battery type. The camera takes an LD-70 or some such battery, rather
than easy to carry "AA" or "AAA." And it eats up power like "richboni" eats
up ****!

I bought the camera for $197 + $6 s/h + $11 camera case + $14 for extra
batterey + $14 for car charger + $25 other crap = around $270

But it takes great macro pics. JR I posted a few pics I took early on with
this camera, so they are anything but quality, but you will get the picture
:~^) Also, I took a macro pic of a grain of desecant (sp?) about twice the
size of a grain of salt and the camera made it look like boulder! I was
absolutely amazed.

Anyway, take a look at it. I got it for the macro functions and the
waterproof feature--its my fishin' camera. Not that I have other cameras,
mind ya. Like I don't have a swimming camera, sleeping camera, eating
camera, tree climbing camera--though this wood be a good one!
