I needed to get closer to the action for some clear macro shots. So I bought one 43-52mm step up filter ring, then one 52mm-42mm step down filter ring(you need both rings or the gap is too small between camera and lens) and a 300mm prime m42 thread macro lens. All m42 thread lenses now fit my camcorder(although the lens aperture is wide open with this lens) and the videos are amazing. You end up with super close macro that is shot from twelve inches away and so does not disturb anything you are filming. (This video was shot with a lumix fx-33)

  • how much was the lens?

  • I have a canon legria model camcorder and from what I know, it isn't built for extra lenses. Is there anything I can buy so that I can add extra lenses without opening the camcorder up. The lense that is already in is a 35mm lense.

  • improves video quality?

  • ahahaahhahhaahhahahahaha ?
