[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 266338, member: 3008"] Good point. Forgot to add that bit. I have to switch to manual focus for the same reason. So I think if you can't manual focus you will struggle. The blocking the light thing is a problem. And part of my excuse of buying a camera with a big focal length so I could get back to allow light in. Which is perhaps what would help with the pic of the Saph. TBH most pics of my stones are pretty average. I just keep banging my head against a wall until I get it to work - plain stubborn. Then usually I figure out what helps. Although remembering the next time seems to be the problem. ;) This is a dirty old CZ I cut and TBH the pic doesn't do it justice but still looks pretty cool - well at least in my totally biased opinion. Excuse the short and curly's. Compact camera and yogurt pot as a diffuser. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3008/1470458999_cz.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
