Dan:
I got the SP primarily for the same reason as you... to have a high quality
camera that I could use that would allow me to force myself to have only one
lens and use it well. So the tele and wide adapters are just afterthoughts/
musing, a convenience on days when I'm just out there sorta on a lark, not
being terribly serious. The close-up lenses, though, are another story. The
close focus on the SP is about 1 meter. That just doesn't cut it in certain
situations. I have some 49mm closeup lenses that I haven't used in years.
I'll see what sort of condition they're in and play around. If I can get the
framing right, a newer, higher quality set (these are el-cheapos from when I
was living on a shoestring) may be in order.
