Description
As promised today is the real deal!
Please zoom in for full efect and dust motes. lol.
My camera is the FujiFilm S9600, a 'Bridge Camera' So called because it is neither a compact nor DSLR, it has a permanately fixed lens, does not unscrew so that you can change lenses like a DSLR. The lens is a pretty decent 28-300mm, but like everybody else, I like to take different subjects at different distances.
So this is where the add ons come into it.
Top left, the 0.45 wide angle, this is not like your normal wide angle, because when you screw it onto the front of your fixed lens, it causes vignetting, so you have to zoom out. What this lens does is give you a wider view at the telephoto end of your zoom, so that when you zoom out to your subject you get a wider view than a normal 300mm lens would give. Believe me when I tell you it has it's advantages.
The top right is a 2 x tele converter, I don't think that requires much, I think we all know it gives me twice the zoom to 600mm.
Top middle is the Extreme Macro lens, this screws into the empty snap on, which as it implies snaps onto the front of your normal lens just like a lens cap does, the difference with this and the Super Macro is that you work it at full zoom of your lens for best effect.
That is you attatch your snap on then zoom out to full extent in my case 300mm. When you first start with one of these it is difficult to find your subject for the final focus. What I do is set up the subject through the lens at the wide end and then zoom in gradually you then have to manipulate either the tripod(which is difficult) or the subject matter,(My next purchase is going to be a slide rail, to make things easier). What I do is place the subject onto white card and drag it bag and forth until I get it in focus. The trouble is with these lenses the dof is very shallow and it is very difficult to get all of the subject in focus, that is unless the subject is flat.
That folks is where my money goes, I also have your normal macro lenses that screw on the front of your lens, a 10x, 4x, 2x and a 1x magnifacation factors, and of course my trusty hand held magnifying glass as shown yesterday.
I was rolled up laughing at some of your comments from yesterday, the wife came in and asked if I was OK, did I need a drink of water.
Thanks for stopping by for a look see(I hope I haven't bored you too much) and for any comments you care to make, good bad or indifferent I don't mind.
May the sun shine down on you, where ever you are.
Glorious sunshine here right now.

Spanish, I do not know how accurate this is, I used a free translator on the internet. ¡Cuando prometido es hoy el trato verdadero! Haga un zoom in por favor para partículas repletas de efect y polvo. lol. Mi cámara es el FujiFilm S9600, una "Cámara de Puente" Tan llamó porque es tampoco un compacto ni más DSL, tiene un permanately fijó lente, no destornilla para que usted pueda cambiar lentes como un más DSL. El lente es un bastante decente 28-300mm, pero como todos los demás, yo quiero tomar los sujetos diferentes en distancias diferentes. Así que esto es donde el añade viene en ello. La izquierda primera, el 0,45 ángulo ancho, esto no está como su ángulo ancho normal, porque cuando usted lo enrosca en la frente de su lente fijo, causa vignetting, así que usted tiene que ir zumbando fuera. Qué este lente hace es le da una vista más ancha en el fin telefotográfico de su va zumbando, para que cuando usted va zumbando fuera a su sujeto usted consigue una vista más ancha que un normal 300 Mm lente daría. Créame cuando yo le digo lo tiene es las ventajas. El derecho primero es una 2 X tele convertidor, yo no pienso que eso requiere mucho, pienso que todos sabemos que da mí dos veces el va zumbando a 600 Mm. El centro primero es el lente Extremo de Macro, esto enrosca en el vacío encaja a presión, que como implica los cierres en la frente de su lente normal como una tapa de objetivo hace, la diferencia con este y el Super Macro es que usted lo trabaja en repleto va zumbando de su lente para mejor efecto. Eso es usted attatch su encaja a presión entonces hace un zoom in fuera a la extensión repleta mi caso 300 Mm. Cuándo usted empieza primero con uno de estos es difícil de encontrar su sujeto para el foco final. Qué yo hago soy establecido el sujeto por el lente en el fin ancho y entonces hago un zoom in gradualmente usted entonces tiene que manipular o el trípode (que es difícil) o el tema, (Mi próxima compra será una baranda del resbaladero, para hacer las cosas más fáciles). Qué yo hago es el lugar el sujeto en tarjeta blanca y lo arrastra empaqueta y adelante hasta que yo lo consiga enfocado. El problema está con estos lentes que el dof es muy superficial y es muy difícil de conseguir todo el sujeto enfocado, eso es a menos que el sujeto sea plano. Que las gente son donde mi dinero va, tengo también sus lentes normales de macro que ponen la frente de su lente, un 10x, 4x, 2x y un factores de magnifacation 1x, y por supuesto la mano fiel lupa tenido como mostrado ayer. Fui enrollado riéndome de algunos de sus comentarios de ayer, la esposa entró y preguntó si estuve bien, hice necesito una bebida de agua. Da las gracias para parar por para una mirada ve (espero que yo no le haya aburrido demasiado) y para ningún comentario en que usted quiere hacer, bueno malo ni indiferente yo no tengo inconveniente. Puede el brillo del sol hacia abajo en usted, donde jamás usted es. El sol glorioso aquí en este momento.

Great set of lenses there jeff, i think i will have to save up and get some macro lenses for my camera. Excellent well done.
stevey3d
Excellent Jeff! Great to see how you use your lenses on a fixed lens camera. I have an old Minolta A2 with wide and zoom addon lenses I use as a backup, works pretty much the same way as your Fuji. I assume the x4 in the middle is the 202 lens you have been using for your recent macro uploads. This is great!

That's a splendid set, I just started with my new Olympus E410 and a 50mm 1:2 Macro, and I'm having real fun. I'll try to make some improvement to my camera when I learn a bit more... but oh yes, it's all so expensive, he he... Thanks for sharing ;O)

OMG, Jeff, this is great, even with all this sophisticated equipment, you tell your story with so much humor!! I can just hear your wife asking if you're ok!! I was sitting here the other day chatting with a friend, and I got to laughing so hard I couldn't even see the keyboard. She kept asking why I was misspelling so many words, heck they weren't even misspelled, I had my fingers on the wrong keys!! This is just so great, I love it!! Oh yeah, some dang nice lenses you have there, too!!

DEAR JEFF 0_0 I´M SPEECHLESS !!!!!! EXCELLENT DETAIL ;)!!!!!
MrsLubner
ok, too many decisions for this bubble head of mine. Its all I can do to find the clicker on most cameras. Matching a lens to a camera to a planned shot would limit me to the max!
danob
You are obviously well prepared for this work buddy!!
stolta

Richardphotos

Laughing is very good for your health. I got the 6500 and that one is good enough for me at this point. Tanks for the info!

I have NO idea who that person was that Marilyn was talking to! :) This is very cool stuff, my friend! You make me think I really need to learn more about cameras. I STILL haven't finished reading the manual that came with mine!

You've got a very nice set of lens. Use it as often as you can.
