I can read the print on the kitchen range from 20 feet. I like the binculars very much.

The focal length is only 35 max, you don't need IS at this point. The further the focal length goes, the more you need IS. Don't worry.

Between 3 to 5 meters back, but really how many meters do not care a lot. What you should care is the relation about the focal distance and the distances in the subject. IE, from the tip of the nose to the eyebrows there are usually 30mm and from the eyebrow to the tip of the ears lets say 60 mm if you use a 22mm lens to do a full face portrait and focuses the eyebrows the nose will be bigger and the ears will be smaller than the ones in the subject. To do people´s video or photo I recommend a longer lens. A35-105mm, 28-135mm or 70 200 mm lens will make your life easier. Also with a longer lens is easier to blur the background Between 3 to 5 meters back, but really how many meters do not care a lot.

It appears the focal distance is about 10-12 feet; you will be unable to see any clear image nearer than that distance.

Fixed focus, does not zoom, approx. 2.5' diameter spot at 20'. never timed it's battery life because I've never used it more than about 30 minutes

Download the user manual, there is a chart with that info. I have 92" (diagonal) and am at 14'2" without adjusting the focus and so on. You'd need to be back some .... Mines a 3010, so YRMV.... It's worth the effort to get it "just right"....

Yes. There are actually two macro modes -- one is a "normal" macro mode and a "super" macro mode. The latter allows you to focus to within an inch or so of the lens.

You can focus to within eight inches away of your subject. But remember that this is a wide angle, 24mm equivalent lens, so even at a close up distance, you will get more into your frame than you would with a longer lens. You must also be aware of potential wide-angle distortion.

Different lenses have different minimum focus distances. The minimum focus distance of an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens is 0.28 m or 0.92 ft. (a little over 11 inches; this information appears on the lens as &#8734;-0.28 m/0.92 ft.). AF-S NIKKOR 50mm F1.4G AF-S NIKKOR 50mm F1.4G Minimum Focus Distance The minimum focus distance is the shortest distance at which a lens can focus. In the case of digital SLR cameras, the distance to the subject is measured from the focal plane mark on the camera body, not from the front of the lens. The minimum focus distance of an AF-S NIKKOR 50 mm f/1.4G is 0.45 m (about 1.5 feet or 18 inches; the minimum focus distance is shown in the lens focus distance display).

It's a microscope, so it seems to work best close up; otherwise you don't have magnification. With that said, I can focus in the lower magnification on an object about 1 meter away, but it isn't really magnified. The higher magnification requires me to be almost touching to focus. This isn't very scientific, I don't know enough about lens math to be, so I just tried it out around the room.

This lenses is meant for distance - I believe min is 12'. If you're looking for everyday photos in the home or close distance you don't need this lens. This lens is great for landscape, wildlife etc...

Since this is an f/1.4 lens, with a minimum focus distance of 45cm, the depth of field can be very shallow.

This lens can focus down to about 3/4" from the end of the lens, a distance that makes the distance between the subject and the sensor inside the camera about 4 inches. In practical use, one must get very close to their subject to get the maximum magnification, which for some might make this lens impractical. I use this lens not only for macro use, but as the standard lens which stays on my camera most of the time, it does very well in all situations and it is very sharp.

The chip is worth it for the metadata. I've found that it's actually hard to miss focus with this lens. I use the focus scale on the barrel and hardly ever look through the viewfinder to focus. Look up hyperfocal distance for 14mm and use those values. I usually just use the 3 foot mark on the lens barrel unless I'm trying to get something really close to the lens in focus. And by close I mean a foot.

Minimum is not a problem at all, I can sit on my couch and use it to look at things maybe 10 yards away on my kitchen counter and I can see everything very clearly, and see the writing on seasoning shakers etc. The problem it has is out past 200-300 yards it starts to get fuzzy.

Hi Decha, Minimum focus distance for the Sony RX100 is rated at 5cm (2 inches). Hope this helps! Keep shooting ~ zkot

About six inches. Probably a little less. One of the huge benefits of this wonderful little lens!
