Lens Attachments

 

 
I use two lens attachments with the Sony DSC-F828 for both
Macro and Telephoto  purposes.  Both  lenses are made  by a
company in Japan called Raynox and were next to impossible
to find.  God  bless the Internet!  The Sony  has a  7x manual
zoom that can be increased to 14x with digital interpolation.
The examples below  show first  the basic  7x magnification.
The second  image  shows  the 14x interpolated  image, and
the  third image is with the  lens attachment and  the  same
level of magnification  at  14x.  The  DCR-250  Super Macro
blew my mind with how close I could get to the subject. The
DCR-2020 Pro  had  less of  a dramatic effect  but any  help
with  getting  closer to a subject  that might fly or run away
is welcome help indeed.  More toys for me to play with!

The Lenses Unpacked
 
I'm not very impressed with the DCR-2020 Pro Telephoto lens.
Granted  the  two subjects below are  roughly  thirty feet from
the  lens but from the 14x  interpolated  zoom to the addition
of the lens there isn't the desired  improvement I  was looking
for.  The shell  and power box are in  full  frame and twice the
original size so it will help, especially when shooting wildlife.

Below are images from  the DCR-250 Super Macro lens that shows
just how close I can get to the subject.  The magnification borders
on scientific photography  and really opens the  door to advanced
Macro Photography.  I'll have a ton of fun experimenting shooting
insects, flowers, and everyday stuff you find around the house.
