Micro World sells several different close-up lens adapters for both QuickTake cameras consisting of the following three lenses:
Copy Area Depth of Field
---------- --------------
8.0"x10.0" 5.0"
4.5"x5.5" 1.5"
2.0"x2.5" 0.5"
The lens system can be purchased with a special copy stand that aids taking pictures of small objects and existing photographs by maintaining a stable camera mount and the proper depth of field.
Creating a telephoto lens for the QuickTake camera is a more difficult process because the depth of field is not known, and it is significantly more difficult to aim the camera at the subject because there is no visual aiming feedback. I am not aware of any companies that have a telephoto lens system on the market.
Kaidan Systems also sells close-up lens for the QuickTake 100 and QuickTae 150 camera.
The Tech Info Library article titled "Locating Vendor Information" can help you search for a particular vendor's address and phone number.
