another question about lensbabies. Can I do macro photography with the composer?
Do I need attachments or adapters. I hope Mike will see this! :smile:

Hey Elisabeth, order the Macro Kit which has two screw on lenses (4+ and 10+ lenses) that will allow you to focus in very close. The kit runs about $40.

Elisabeth, You can stack both the +4 and +10 diopters to go even closer to your subjects. It will take some getting used to.

Hi Elizabeth,
If you have extension tubes, they can also be used with the composer to focus closer. I admittedly don't have much experience doing that.

Yes, you certainly can! With the Lensbaby macro kit and/or extension tube-- one of my favorite ways to make images. See example in Flora
