Hi guys,

I have an adapter for my Fuji bridge camera that allows me to add 58mm or 72mm filters. With this i could also attach a 2x telephoto lens. Are these as simple as increasing the zoom by 2x or am i thinking of it wrong?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the answers guys much appreciated. Let me see if i got this correct.

Using my camera without a telephoto lens i get a photo as shown below:

Cropping it i get the image as shown below:

Using a telephoto lens will give me the same result as cropping?

Will using a telephoto lens not give a clearer image over cropping?
 
My camera does not have a remote shutter but when on the tripod i give it a time delay to take the photo, i assume this is the same kind of thing?

I think the camera has an auto tracking system, i will have to check, also this might not work with the telephoto lens I have heard.

I will also have to check out on a digital zoom to see if that works!

I think the camera has a Focal length: 28-504mm.
 
Ah i see, i think i get you now. It make sense when you think about it!

Thanks for all the info. I think my options are:

Try some different settings and re crop better,
See if i can borrow a teleconverter to test it,
Get a new camera with a better lens,
Spend the pennies on the item that pecnarf discusses.
