I already had a 39-49mm step-up ring I use to put my 49mm polarizer on my 39mm Leica lenses. With what was available at B&H, I concocted the following stack of adapters: 28-37mm step-up 37-49mm step-up 49-49mm double-threaded macro adapter (49mm thread Zuiko lenses attach here). 39-49mm step-up 39mm Leica Summicron-M lens, reversed For my initial tests with both the Coolpix and Olympus C3030, I simply stood the digicam and lenses on piles of business cards or post-it notes at the proper height, moved 'em as close together as I could get, and played with settings. Generally, you put the digicam at maximum telephoto and mimimum aperture, and focus on infinity or near it (*not* macro setting, that's for the digicam lens alone). - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA At 10:20 PM 4/8/03 -0700, "Richard F.
