The starting supplies to improve the A60's lacklustre macro capability up to the "kick-ass" level (for a P&S) by using the Canon 50 mm f/1.8 II as a monster close-up adapter. The magic here is getting two 52 mm Cokin A adapters to be glued together. (And to have a 50 mm lens!) Note that all shots in this gallery are full frame. Also, they come from two cameras. The A60 shots are in 4:3 ratio, while the SLR shots are 3:2. You can also check the EXIF data under the shot in the large view.
