Macro Lens Suggestions for PT-020

[ejg62]

I am looking for suggestions or set-ups with regards to macro lens. I have a 5060, PT-020 casing and YS-90auto strobe. I am abel to get decsent pictures when I am some distance from the subject (such as fish, coral, etc). However, when taking pictures of something small and I need to get close I am not able to get the picture in focus. I understand a macro lens would help in that area.

What maco lens would fit this set up? Also, can I still have the macro lens attached when taking non-macro pictures of fish, people? Or does the lens not work when the focus length is beyond some distance.

thanks

Jim

After reading the advice here http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=135448 and here http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=125866 among others, I ended up buying an Epoque wetmount lens for my PT 20. It takes some getting used to, but I'm happy with it. You do need to take it off when you are not shooting macro.

I am using the Inon UCL-165 close-up lens with my Oly C4000Z/Pt-010 setup.

This, and other, close-up lenses have very shallow depth of field and take some getting use to.
