Fuiji Finepix S5100
Hi
I am looking for a zoom lense for my S5100 for closeups of birds and aquatic creatures. Fuiji doesn't offer much of a selection so was wondering if there are 3rd party lenses, I believe it has a 52mm adapter. Also I want to take pics of a boat is there any tip on compensating for the motion? Thanks Jim |

It does not allow the lens to be changed. It does come with an adapter ring, but that is to allow the attachment of an adapter lens in front of the Fuji's fixed zoom lens. This is already a 10x zoom, giving the equivalent of a 37mm to 370mm zoom on a 35mm camera. Fuji's TL-FX9 adapter lens extends the telephoto end of the zoom by a factor of 1.5x, to an equivalent of a 555mm lens. Also I want to take pics of a boat is there any tip on compensating for the motion? Take the pictures in bright sunlight. The brighter the better, as it will allow you to use a faster shutter speed. So will using a higher ISO setting. Just as with a pendulum, when motion reverses direction speed is at a minimum. You might want to prefocus (to minimize shutter delay) and take the picture close to the instant that the boat's motion is at it's ebb. The motion is fairly complex so it's unlikely you'll ever be able to capture the boat when there's no movement at all, but you can probably eliminate much of it with proper timing, and if your camera is quick enough. |
