Haven't you ever heard of a new method of a combination of a super-telephoto with a super-macro shooting that are called " Digiscoping " in foreign countries, "Digisco" in Japan?
This shooting method is combining the use of a spotting scope ( a telescope & a monocular), which has been primarily used for a bird-watching, with a digital camera ( a digital SLR camera & a compact camera) as a shooting lens, thereby enable to enlarge the magnification up to 500/1000mm, and by combining the magnifications of the telescope lens and the compact camera (optical zoom), allows you to take close-up pictures of far distant birds, grasses and flowers by 3000mm,5000mm,7000mm equivalent magnification.
A paradise seldom to be there. You can be there by the combination of a spotting scope with a digital Camera. That's a super-telephote and a super-macrophoto world.
