got a question about prime photogrpahy with a digital cam. I've got a fuji finepix 3800 which has a treaded lens so i can buy a step down ring and attched it to the rear cell of my LX90. Experiemented tonight just holding it there and i could not get a clear focus nor could i get rid of the secondary baffle from the shot.

So what i'm wondering is if its possible to get a clear shot if i attach it more securily? Or does prime photography only work without the lens attached so the telescope is the lens. My viewfinder is an electronic display so i'm looking thru the lens when focusing but can't get rid of the baffle. THe lens on the 3800 is quite large, 36mm to be precise.

I also had a go at afocal with bad results, again just holding the camera. BINTEL had a device that had a 49mm thread on it and 3 adjustment screws. It slides over your eyepiece and i could get a step down ring to attach the camera. Will that produce better results????

Thanks in advance
