SuperMn106 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I have a Kodak Easy Share Z740. All the deer that i take pics of are about 300-400 yards away. I was wondering if there is a zoom lens that i could buy that would take good clear pictures. I dont need a very big one but i do need something to zoom me in a little farther and get clear pictures. thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 NOpe I think this is what you want 1.4X magnification 55 mm thread size all glass, SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH XENAR Lens five elements protective storage pouch included Compatible with the following KODAK products: DX6490 DX7590 P712 P850 P880 Z612 Z650 Z710 Z712 IS Z740 Z7590 ZD710 http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=9/35/233/7518/274&pq-locale=en_US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 You have two choices. #1--get closer to the deer, or #2--get a camera that will handle a 300 to 600 mm lens. I think Bill will back me up on this, wildlife 300 to 400 yards away is waaaaay too far for the normal camera. Big o'l zoom lenses, or even fixed lenses in that category (if you want them to go down to like f 2.8 or so) cost in the thousands for quality glass. It's easier, more fun and cheaper to try and get closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on my neighibors land that butts up to mine, I could try sit on the edge mine and his and try to get them. They are in a bean field.

toddyboman Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I know this is not an SLR camera of sorts. But the current lense and zoom power is: Lens 38–380 mm (35 mm equivalent) So he is in that 300 mm range. Just barely but he is there. Now you will need a tripod to hold the camera still enough to take a picture that you can view. But I think you can take some picture with your camera. I believe I have an older model of that same camera and with a tripod I have taken some pics of deer 300+ yards away. I will check later tonight.
