Nice!

I'm aspiring to be able to take pictures like that.
You think the C700Uz will be able do something like this?

Yes you can ... see azone's or tweek's C700 homepage



To dbchoong , try nice ... but i think the DOF is shallow due to f4.8 ... are u able to set ur dc to f8 ?

 

[dbchoong]

The C700UZ should be able to do good macro shots too. It has a macro focus range of 10cm compared to the A40's 16cm. If not for the +4 close-up filter I used, I would not have been able to get this shot.

Yeah, still testing macro - have not tried it much except some shots in the house (boring).

I should have tried another shot with aperture at f8. Could have been better. But it was still raining. Don't want to get me and my camera wet...

good ! dun give up

try to practise until you can get a similar like this fly shot ...

Would stacking 2 +4 close-up filters give an even closer picture? Theoratically should give a +8, am I right?

Due to A40's minimum of 16cm focus distance (plus no manual focussing), can't really get too close to the subject as it won't focus.

Anyone tried stacking close-up filters? Would it degrade picture quality?

wouldn't it be better if you got one +10 filter?

 

[ccmheoa]

is the lens adaptor for the A40 available at simlim yet?
wha'ts the cost for the +4 / +10 hoya filter???

 

[dbchoong]

Well, the last time I looked at CP, they only had +1, +2 and +4 52mm filters.

If I saw a +10 then, I would have got that instead.

Would you know where to get and how much a +10 would cost? (52mm thread).

Thx.

ask CP to bring in stock for you lor, should be abt $80.

 

[dbchoong]

I paid $16 for the +4 in CP. If you are good at bargaining or long-time customer, maybe can get cheaper.

err... actually, wat does a close up filter do? does it allow u to get closer to the marco shot? does 10x means u can get closer 10 times more?:dunno:
