Close up shots from the Samsung NX 300 camera and 18-55 m.m kit lens are amazing.

Hi there, I am still amazed at the quality of the close up shots from the Samsung NX 300. They are great. I've put three images here, The first is one of a little shell sitting in my hand, with the lens cap from the kit lens in shot too. This will give a perspective of the actual size of the shell. The second is of the shell, sitting on a piece of sawn timber. The third image is a 100% crop of the full sized image. These photo's are straight out of camera jpgs. They have not been processed in any way at all. The camera was hand held, I took the shots, dowloaded them, and put them here for you to see.
Image number one, the shell in my hand.

There, now you can see the size. Not very large, is it?

Now the second image, which is the complete photo. The shell is postioned on a small pice of sawn tree tunk that I came across while out walking one day. Remember there is no post processing on any of these images.

Look at the detail in that shell, and the saw marks in the timber.

Here is the third pic, it is a 100% crop of the full sized image above.

IMHO, these images are excellent, even more so, when one realises that they are from a kit lens, and not an expensive prime lens or a dedicated MACRO lens. I would not even think of comparing the kit lens IQ to the IQ of a MACRO lens. Although, I think I will have to do it for us to see one day. I am, at the moment waiting for a company to get a stock of the lens adapter that I need to be able to mount my Samsung 100 m.m f2.8 Macro lens onto the NX 300 camera. The reason for needing the adapter is, my MACRO lens is for my Samsung GX 10 camera, which is a DSLR and teh camera mounts are not compatible, without this adpater. Come on guuys hurry up and get the stock in.  ;-)

Take care gang, speak soon. Regards, Twm.
