Hello,

I'm using a GL2 to shoot medical training videos. Soon we hope to shoot some oral health videos, which will involve shooting closeups of the mouth and teeth on patients. I wish there was a maro switch on this camera's lens.

I know I can shoot extreme closeups with the camera when it is zoomed in all the way when about 5 feet away, and use manual focus.

Has anyone used any of those add-on tele-extenders for this camera? What did you think? I was also thinking about using Closeup lenses also but don't want to get in the way of the doctors. Those Wide Angle adapters also say they work for Macro shots too but I think they need to be physically very close, and I can't be.

I will also be using a Lowel omni-light kit and bounced light.

Any ideas to help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

I bought a 58mm +10 macro lens from eBay and it did the trick for my dental shot. It was cheap but the CA wasn't bad. But use a tripod, since you've only got about 1cm of focal depth. :)
