can you take macro pictures with this 24-85mm-3-5-4-5

No- the focusing distance is much too far. Great lens- but not for macro work.

although this lens is not a true macro lens, you can get pretty close.. the closest you can get & focus {at any mm with this lens} is around 8" to 10" then you could crop it in an editing program!!

Yes the DMC-FZ70 is very capable at macro shots. It has a button on the back to switch the autofocus from normal to macro, enabling the camera to take pictures as close as 1 cm at the wide angle focal length! Also in the iA (intelligent auto) mode, the camera automatically detects when the subject is close enough to require the macro setting and switches it to macro, then automatically switches it back to normal when the camera is moved further away from the subject. You can also select a macro focus function in the manual, aperture priority, shutter speed priority, and program modes, and can select between autofocus macro and macro zoom. I have taken pictures with the camera lens practically touching the subject in all kinds of lighting conditions and they have turned out great. Of course the autofocus at such range has a severely reduced margin for focus alignment so you have to give it a few seconds to focus and then be careful not to move the camera again before the shot. Probably should switch off the flash (simple to do on this camera) and perhaps use a tripod and self timer if the subject is not well lit. To boot the camera accepts an adapter and close-up lens but I'm not sure why you'd need them given how great the macro works.

Yes - I believe so, though I've never used it. Mainly macro lenses are more expensive to produce to allow them to focus so close to the subject. This 35mm f/2.4 has become one of my favorite lenses for its sharpness - I often use it to shoot panoramas, although I have an old A-series 50mm f/1.7 and an ancient Takumar 135mm f/2.5 I also use for that. But for the price this 35mm has outstanding image quality.

No this lens is not intended for macro photography. A prime lens designated as macro is good for this. I recommend the Sigma 70mm macro for Pentax, it is really sharp.

The filters do not have threads to accept anything in front. The mount is 53mm so if your macro lens is 53mm then you might be able to attach to the threaded mounting base.

Only if it's available with the appropriate Pentax mount. Historically, Can on and Pentax mounts haven't been compatible. If you can get the proper mount you will be very pleased with this lens. It even does macro well.

I found the macro capability as outstanding. However to get good results you'll need to shoot in manual mode and understand some of the basic setups and lighting conditions. Different situations require using different settings.

Yes! It has a macro feature. This is an all-in-one lens that creates amazing photos!

Your probably too close for what the lense your using can handle. Have you tried auto focus? For macro shots its almost easier to use anyways.

I've not tried it for macro, so can't help you there, My friend has mine in Europe now so I can't try it. Maybe if you google the question, they will know or the manual may pop-up. Aside from my SLR, this takes great telephotos.

If macro mode means to take picture at close up, I think it does NOT have a macro mode. Otherwise, I don't know.

If you buy a sigma 70mm for NIKON (mount) it will be 100% compatible and obviously you'll have the autofocus / I had the Pentax mount and the AF motor for that was inside the body not in the lens; anyways the AF for macro won't help at all, as for the portrait range it isn't fast for this lens

My wife thinks this is an awesome camera, and I'm such a good husband for getting it for her. She is using it indoors for her eBay pictures, so to answer your question directly, yes we find it suitable. I've taken closeup pictures of things just a couple of inches away, thus it has a macro capability for very close work. My wife is very pleased with her FinePix, and had been grabbing it instead of her Canon SLR frequently.

I think so. I once owned this lens and D7000 and got fine images as a macro lens.

YES...... I would highly recommend this lens and it is now used as my general lens of choice. To use the macro, it is necessary to stand back further than most lenses but it still produces a very crisp image. The weight of the lens helps to keep the camera steady as it is weighted well making the whole unit more sturdy. So far I have no regrets.

I don't think you would. My point-and-shoot Canon takes great close-up photos in macro mode. I need one of these, however, for my DSLR camera, where you would attach a macro lens for close-up pics.

This is one of the best lenses I have ever owned. I am not sure about the 35-70 2.8 version because there is no macro application on the 24-70. I use this lens for both fx and dx cameras how ever I would assume that it is a little sharper than the 35-70 due to the fact that it is newer technology. I can't find any current reviews for your lens. I agree with Marty in LA, buy the Nikon 105mm or 200mm if you want macro and if you need a versatile wide angle buy the 24-70 2.8 and the 70-200 in either F2.8 or F4...
