When you're done, zoom out again, to maximum 3x optical zoom;- for optical zoom 1x - 2x, use macro mode (the tulip <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> )- i have a very simple home made adapter, which you can see <a href="http://www.digiscooppix.nl/album_page.php?pic_id=11460" target="_blank"> here </a> and <a href="http://www.digiscooppix.nl/album_page.php?pic_id=11459" target="_blank"> here </a>, although i have replaced the duct tape by some screws now. I find it easier than the swing out bracket (baader microstage II) I used before. If you want more info on how i made it, plse let me know.Hope this helps and good luck!Paul</blockquote>
