Hi hit47, ask any question you have....and have some picture post too...we glad to see some work from you and your G12.

u r looking for picture i taken? or picture of the camera with the adapter? haha...
i would recommend u take on the quick change and not the other tube adapter... not worth to invest for the later in my opinion. but for the quick change definitely is very very useful. I use it often with CPL or UV filter and the result is great. i also tried with Macro conversion lens and wide angle conversion lens on the quick change adapter itself.

here are some pics... u can check them in my flickr... search my username the.mono.eye

shot with Macro conversion lens


shot with wide angle conversion lens


shot with Grad Filter (this is another option with those square filter, not the quick change. i borrow it from my fren, u can consider it)


This is wif CPL, but not a very good example... i cant really find one at the moment...

the quick change basically is allow you to use filter on your G12... there's an extra pieces attached to the front part of the lens, and that allows you to put in any type of screw-in filter to enhance your picture

I bought it when I first bought my G12... been using for more than a year now...

i prefer take landscape... well, i think i have listed all the gears i'm using through the photo samples i shown above...

my other gear is speedlite... well, not quite relevant to landscape though.
you can consider ND filter if you want more freedom to control the light (G12 has 1 bulit in ND filter though), or you can consider using grad filter or big stopper for landscape... other filter you can look into will be those warming filter for sunset/sunrise shooting and etc... too much to list out... lol

Hi there,

ya, use in macro mode.

to get bokeh effect/shallow depth of field, there are 2 possible way:
1. use big aperture (F2.8 for instance) in order to focus only the subject closest to the camera while the rest of the background out of focus (bokeh)
2. control the distance between u n the subject. subject closer to u, easier to get bokeh background. this can b done by walk closer to the subject, or use telephoto lens...


this pic taken with F4.5 but still hav the bokeh effect, bcos i zoom in telephoto... method 2


this pic is combination of method 1 and 2, F2.8 + close to subject.


another example of bokeh background done by method 2... telephoto lens, F4.5

Of cos using macro mode is easier to get bokeh, bcos in that mode means u r getting close to the subject. u can try out with ur camera and u wil know wat i mean...
