My new camera has a zoom lens that also takes close up pictures. Not really sure if it is a macro lens but I can get things focused in super close (like the blueberries in the last post). I am not used to having a zoom lens. My Leica has a lens fixed at about 35, and I have gotten used to using my feet to get to the right distance to frame the picture. So this camera with a zoom lens - it goes to 210 or so - is kind of fun. Suddenly I can take pictures of squirrels in trees or of the dogs way off down the beach. It also blurs stuff in the background nicely. All that said, it is pretty bulky so I bet I continue to use my MUCH smaller fixed lenses.
