so I found the vivitar/phoenix lens locally and got it yesterday, tried it a bit.
attached is the best pic Ive taken so far with it.
drdrew, any pointers on using it? do you use the 'filter' that comes with it?
I tried using macro mode on the 300d, but it always wants to use the flash. I then tried manual settings and bumped up the ISO and that seemed to help, but Im having a really hard time with the focusing and depth of field.
any tips appreciated and thanks for the advice. I have tried turning the pumps off and cleaning the glass and that helped. Im sure a tripod would help a bunch too
