What you can do is shoot with the lens right out & crop the image to bring it closer ... depending on what settings you use & what res the image is taken at you will find that most of your pics are pretty acceptable quality even cropped .. hope this helps 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blakloks 5 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yep that's great help cheers Ill persevere with this one for the time being then ill look at upgrading to something that will allow me to alter the lens if need be Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I don't know if this helps you but you can get some cracking close up photos with a digiscope attached to a point and shoot camera. If you don't mind using a tripod, maybe worth thinking about. I'm not sure if it can be attached to your camera but a quick google would find out. I know this method is great for birds of prey etc that tend to be a way off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
