Does this have enough depth of field to photograph fountain pens?

the best way for me to answer this is when i look at coins i can see abe lincoln in good detail on the reverse of the coin sitting in the memorial

I haven't tried to photograph a fountain pen, but I don't think it would work. The depth of field is very shallow, like most microscopes. When looking at a 3-D object, you have to select which part of the object you want to be in focus.

The depth of field is very narrow and varies with other parameters, such as level of magnification, available light, etc. I had difficultly in getting entire salt and sugar crystals in focus. We found this device most useful in getting a modest resolution image of a small object up on a big monitor for group viewing, such as this lithic point shown on a 24" monitor: <http://ioccnysaa.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html> (scroll down to "Winter Laboratory Sessions" for image).

Yes and no. If you want to photograph a field of wildflowers then it would work fine because you could get fairly close, 0.82 ft. is minimum focus distance. But for macro photography of a single blossom it would not be the best lens to work with. You would need a true macro lens.

Not unless you only intend to shoot distance. The 18/55 would be used for typical 10 ft or less photos. Or portrait type

Can Be - The GN for this flash is relatively low since it's designed for close up work, within a foot or two. However, it's probably fine as a fill light or if you're in the habit of using a 50mm lens or wider as a portrait lens. Personally I like shooting portraits with focal lengths greater than 100mm and using at least a couple of lights at an angle and not directly head-on. For glamor lighting (head on lighting) I use an A-B ringflash with w/ 32inch softbox, I don't use this for portraits but for specific fashion shoots and clothing designers.

The answer is a resounding "maybe." This is a very dark filter. Assuming your intent is to shoot in bright light and use the filter to be able to play with depth-of-field, you should be able to see through it well enough to frame up your shot. If, for some reason, you're thinking about using it in moderate to dim lighting conditions, it could make things pretty difficult, but I'm not sure what you'd be hoping to get out of it under those circumstances, anyway.

The lens is very sharp and clear. The minimum distance may be an issue for portraits. 5-6 feet at minimum zoom.If you have the room to shoot then yes. I purchased the lens for mainly aviation action shots. Moving and stationary.I'm very happy with it.

Absolutely, but remember two things: first, compose your shot so that you have allowed some room all around in your viewfinder. The photo will "crop" some, because the 330 is not a full frame camera. Secondly, remember that the actual focal length will be about 125 mm.

Certainly, as there are Shutter-Priority (S) and Aperture-Priority (A) modes. This is typical of most cameras in this class and allow you to capture some depth-of-field and time-resolved action. The camera of this type is not particularly great at capturing lots of bokeh, there is a lot that it can do!

Yes the depth works fine. The side imaging doesn't work well at high speed.

No. The poor quality of this lens will not produce sharp, clear, impressive wow type photos. My opinion is to save up for a better quality lens.

Yes, Please be aware that the depth if field is very limited with the longer lenses. I would almost recommend a prime lens or the kit with it. Be sure to use a tripod and play with settings and you will enjoy macro shots on a budget.

I think so. Threw out the box. Not so happy with it - it works but it's not easy getting a picture or viewing. The depth of field is VERY shallow.

My wife thinks this is an awesome camera, and I'm such a good husband for getting it for her. She is using it indoors for her eBay pictures, so to answer your question directly, yes we find it suitable. I've taken closeup pictures of things just a couple of inches away, thus it has a macro capability for very close work. My wife is very pleased with her FinePix, and had been grabbing it instead of her Canon SLR frequently.

yes, but with the correct distance. I like to take different approaches to objects in landscapes or statues that are not very close. This is an affordable and very good lens. I like the photos that I take with this lens.

This lens is most useful for shooting stationery distant objects. camera stand is also required. I think you should be looking for 70-300mm vr tameron or nikon lens

I found the depth of field to be shallow the the F6.3. Focusing on wildlife at a distance took practice. But it is a great tool and the results are sharp.

Depends what you mean by "shallow." You will get the most shallow depth of field by using Aperture priority ("A" on the dial) and then picking the largest aperture that gives you decent exposure. For most situations that'll be good enough...
