In a thread on another forum, I queried someone's use of the word "reach". They appeared to be using it as alternative to magnification, but I feel there's more to it than that. It's very easy to achieve much higher magnification, but then find that the resulting images show less detail than a lower magnification because of various kinds of blurring.
E.g. I often hear people saying you can't just add a cheap teleconverter to a camera lens and expect to see more detail, and I've tried it and found it to be true.
Is there an official definition of the word "reach"? I thought it might be more appropriate to ask the question here than in one of the camera forums, as it's obvious that digiscopers are all seeking more of it.
