what is the minimum focusing distance?

I did not run a real test on distance. But connected up to 12v and a monitor for a test for function. Worked good right out of the box. And the lens could be focused I know from about three feet to way out there. Easy to set focus. Bet you can get down pretty close. Nice little camera and pretty good low light sensitivity too. Color turns to black and white at low light levels.

I can hold it a couple inches from my hand and the image is clear. With the camera laying on the workbench, everything it sees looks clear.

Closest usable focus distance is about 5.5 inches from the lens. What that means in practice is that an item one-half of an inch across will fill about half the frame (at least on my 50D).

I'm missing something in your question.If you want a spotting scope for the MINIMUM focus range, why not just use your eyeballs for that close-in range? Or a pair of plastic 'opera glasses' from the dollar store?

Close in focus is a problem with that lens. I have often found that a problem. The minimum focus distance depends on the zoom ratio selected. At the 28mm setting, the camera will focus down in the macro range (marked in orange on the focus distance ring) and that gets you to about 4 feet. The lowest focus distance marked in white is 2 meters, and that applies as the minimum focus distance with the 200 mm zoom setting. In between it varies proportionately to the zoom setting as to what your minimum focus distance is. In short, if you do a lot of work close in, this lens is not a good choice. I have no experience with extension tubes.

It has good center sharpness down to about one foot. It still gets a focus down to about 7 inches, and you have to look very closely to realize that the sharpness is falling off a bit. Any closer than 7 inches, it does not focus at all, as far as I can tell.

I'm assuming your referring to beam focus or dispersion. I don't have exact degree but this is more of a narrow focus beam. Probably no more than 20 degrees.

According to the specifications printed on the side of the box, the close focus for these binoculars is 26ft./8m. Hope this helps.

Looks like focus down to 4 to 5 feet. Has diopter adjustment. I can focus without my glasses on if i adjust diopterveyepiece. That said, i would not buy that model again. Prefer the green screened nightvision. IR works but not at great distance. Price is good, though.

The focal length is only 35 max, you don't need IS at this point. The further the focal length goes, the more you need IS. Don't worry.

You can focus to within eight inches away of your subject. But remember that this is a wide angle, 24mm equivalent lens, so even at a close up distance, you will get more into your frame than you would with a longer lens. You must also be aware of potential wide-angle distortion.

Minimum is not a problem at all, I can sit on my couch and use it to look at things maybe 10 yards away on my kitchen counter and I can see everything very clearly, and see the writing on seasoning shakers etc. The problem it has is out past 200-300 yards it starts to get fuzzy.

Hi, The focusing distance is always measured from the sensor. Therefore, subtract the distance from the sensor to the front of the lens barrel (approximately 3 inches), and you are left with actual "working distance" of about an inch. Hope that helps.

Yes. You can focus very close, probably about an inch or so from the subject.

Focal distance is pretty good. It is a bit fuzzy at point blank range but from about 1/2" to say 3' or 4' I could clearly see what I was looking at. I stuck it down my drain to check the condition of the pipe and look for blockages and I could see from the camera tip to fairly far down the pipe. The light was bright enough for me to see clearly in dark areas around the camera tip.

This is strictly for macro. Focusing on anything that isn't at the closest focal point is impossible. It is also recommended that you use a lens with a shorter zoom level. This is basically incompatible with my 250mm. I can only imagine how much worse it is with a 400mm.

Manual Focus only. Works better close for Macro shots. Not so much for far away, Infinity setting. Good Luck!
