Canon Macro Lens and Close up Lens Attachment - Canon makes four common macro lenses and I have listed them in numbers 1 to 4 above. They also make a 20mm F3.5 macro, and a 35mm F2.8 macro, but these have too short a focal length for them to be practical for the general macro photography that I was interested in, so I didn't consider them at all. ...... Macro Photography - Getting Close with the Little Camera - On a Canon Powershot forum I found a reference to "reverse mounting a 50mm SLR lens" for extreme close-ups.

(Rating = 9) I feel like I've been on a trip to the zoo. This is a beautiful girl and a beautiful picture. Nice close-up on the face and the 'lazy eyes'.

Hi Jaking many many thanks for the really wonderful comments on African queen , I have been really stunned and so pleased at the number of comments I have recieved , I must introduce the lioness too her name is Nahla and I have been working very closely with her for a while now and she is a real character in all ways ,I have just had a look at the point you mentioned and there is a very small very pale purple area on close inspection but it is not showing up very much on my monitor,but thank you so much for pointing it out , I have noticed on occasions and I am not sure if it has something to do with the lay of the fur but when the skin of a lion becomes very bunched up I have also had a green effect so it may well have something to do with the grey/black of some of the hair reacting to lighting or my positioning when I have taken the shot as their coats are very patchy in colour when you get close ( not that I would reccommend getting too close LOL !! ) but thank you so much for pointing that out and will keep my eyes open to see if it happens again , K-J
