Re: Camera

I can tell you that when I take a picture of my flowers I always take with the wide angle lens and then get as close to the flower as possible. It seems to give the picture a dream quality, a sort of softness that the other lenses don't.

Oh- you bought a macro lens.... I got it now....wait a minute... that
doesn't sound right.. to infinity... every lens has limits....

But Kitty is right, most times wide-angle and fish eye are the same lens...

Now you guys have me confused!

Donna

There is a fish-eye lens available for my camera. Can't figure out why
I'd want one.

Avocado blooms are small--about the size of a shirt button, max.

0.8" means, essentially, you can get that close [0.8"] and still be in
focus.

Camera shoots 8,000 pixels per inch; doesn't matter whether you're 0.8"
or infinity feet from the object.
