Trophy from MTB collection?  Now you have bragging rights mate .  Sorry, I have collected my share 10 years ago. I still pay the price of a frozen shoulder as a result of a freak offroad accident that I have for 6 years now .  Now I stick to touring bicycle.  Age catching up .

Speedy recovery.

I use to play with close up filters but I find it not worth the cost at the end of the day.  Image quality is just bearable and the edges is really crap.  If you are really serious , you are better off with 2 options.

1.  If you have old SLR lens, you can get a reverse lens adapter for real cheap price these days (eBay) or if you do not have old SLR lens, you can source them there too for a very modest price. You kill 2 birds here.  Reverse for macro work and up front, and you have a manual prime lens.  If you pick your choice carefully, ie a short tele + wide angle. Mate them and you have a very good macro with decent magnification.

2. Get a proper macro from the old stock (eBay).  If you are on shoe string. A Nikkor Macro (A1) 55f3.5 is decent price or if you can afford go for the 55f2.8  These are proper macro lens and you will enjoy them.  Bigger f stop is necessary if you are going for the high magnifications. You need all the light you can get - it start to loose light when the lens gets further from the sensor.  I will not consider auto Macro lens.  It is not really worth its value and you have to switch it to manual all the time for proper control.  FYI - i just bought a Macro 55f2.8 with adapter for <RM800/-  for a friend.

As for distance from lens to subject - sorry ...  that is not much you can do on that unless you go for the longer lens. But there is still a limit to it.  You get to real issues when magnification goes pass x2  Often objects are almost touching the lens and depth of filed is difficult to locate and compose.  Most switch to photo stacking if detail work is needed.
I do have Zoom with Macro but the quality is just not there . Also too bulky for close up work.

Kit lens comparison

i have a 5n and honestly, i dont really need touch screen since there is dial and 180 flip screen not necessary for me as well... hmm hmm

Haha is ok jimmy ... yup, everyone got different opinion...
tell you what... initially i bought 5n for touch screen, but now not really like...
maybe becos i put on my hand strap and always accidentally touch on the screen.. hmm
pros and cons la...  

this time sony is make a great move, which cause all of us want to sell our current camera + lens 

i not sure anymore is it a good news for us

Rm450? What is the model? Drooling.. Hehe.

around RM2k for new one, seems like a good deal 

pro: wider , around 30% cheaper

cons: no OSS ,with adapter so size gonna huge and no AF (but af not so important for UWA lens i guess)

a stupid question, how to put on the front cap since the lens is bulb style ? 

u know how much the adapter cost?

the price of the adapter + sigma 8-16 will = or > than e mount 10-18mm...

and the size (+adapter), no OSS, slower AF (i guess)... unless u plan to buy a bunch of a-mount lens, else it is not a good idea...
