Hi,
some of you may remember my last postings with macros (dragonflies).
There was some discussion about the quality of the Leica ELPRO2 closeup lens I use with the FZ5.
The weather today was poor, so I did some macro shots in my garden to compare my closeup lens for you:

1) Leica ELPRO2 (achromatic lens), 5 dioptrin
2) Minolta Closeup2 (achromatic lens), 4 dioptrin
3) BW +4 (simple lowcost lens), 4 dioptrin

With all shots I did the same post proccessing comparable to my ELPRO2 dragonflies.
The BW4 should be comparable with other lowcost closeups you can get for few money (used at ebay <10$)
I hope with helps, if you are thinking about ordering the ELPRO2.
