<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3728260, member: 19463&quot;]As I see it, the new Apple lenses are three different focal lengths so you can make wide, normal and telephoto shots without resorting to digital zoom which always reduces quality a lot.&nbsp; The lenses are arranged in a triangle rather than side by side spaced like your eyes (one right and one left) as would be needed for stereo photographs.</p><p><br /></p><p>A friend who takes insect photos has a point and shoot that will take several shots in vert close time with each focused differently and then produces a focus stacked result as well as the series which you can edit and run through a focus stack program as the rest of us can.&nbsp; I would love that feature on a full frame dSLR but have no interest in these minute sensor size&nbsp; cameras (including phones) unless shooting something where portability is more important than quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were going to buy a camera toy, it would be one of those units that will take hundreds of shots of one subject and spit out a file that can be printed on a 3D printer.&nbsp;&nbsp; Quite a few museums are publishing free .stl files of their best statues.&nbsp; For example, this Apollo is from the Louvre.</p><p><a href="https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-apollo-sauroctonus-at-the-louvre-paris-17662" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-apollo-sauroctonus-at-the-louvre-paris-17662" rel="nofollow">https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-apollo-sauroctonus-at-the-louvre-paris-17662</a></p><p>Unfortunately, the printer to which I have access is limited to things about 8&quot; high so full length statues are less than impressive.&nbsp; I tried the BM file for the Rosetta stone but when the size is reduced, the lettering became illegible.&nbsp; It does better for heads but I have not been shooting the ones I printed.&nbsp; Being able to make my own files would enable a self portrait head in &#039;marble&#039; look plastic.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sorry about the dragons that jumped in front of SS and JD. Reshoot time.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]999624[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
