My new divi set up

Well i found the old thread for this camera and have now made a attachment that i thought i would try to show.Very simple i used a canon lens adapter and then made a PTFE insert with a recess turned in it so the camera lens can zoom fully and it is a close fit over my swaro 15x56 bins.Very simple and is quick in use as vigineting is almost zero.
Few pis of the set up.

Chris,
You should be able to get some good photos this way using the P5100.
Macro Mode is good, use Aperture Priority as you want as wide an aperture as possible and fastest shutter speed. ISO 100 gets the best results. I like to dial in -0.7 exposure to stop the whites from blowing out.
Happy digibinning.
Neil.
