We've gone over
zoom and telephoto lenses in the past and today I'd like to focus on
a lens of a similar fashion, the teleconverter lens --sometimes also
known as an extender or multiplier. They can multiply the focal
length of a lens by 1.4 to 2 times. But like any piece of equipment,
there are pros and cons to choosing a teleconverter over a zoom or
telephoto lens.
The obvious, and
most important, pro is increased focal length. A 1.4x converter will
give you an extra 40%, while a 2x converter gives you 100% more focal
length. When you're not so close to your subject, it will come out
much clearer with the converter. Teleconverters are also much
lighter. A telephoto lens is awesome, but have you held one in your
hand? They add quite a bit of weight to your lens bag. Lastly, they
can actually come in handy if you don't have a macro lens and want
–and can— get in closer to your subject.
One major
disadvantage is light. When you use a teleconverter lens, less light gets
in and your max aperture will be decreased. The more you multiply the
focal length, the more the aperture decreases. So it might be better
to choose a 1.4x than a 2x converter. Just like with any lens that
increases focal length, you have to worry about camera shake. You can
solve the problem by increasing shutter speed and using a tripod.
Converters also slow down camera focus speed, especially in lower
lighting. Switch to manual mode to help. And finally, the image
quality will be reduced so opt for higher quality converters to keep
image quality up.
3 Axis in case your chopping requires simultaneous controlled motion of the X,Y,Z axes, which most free-form surfaces require. Depending on their age and sophistication, CNC machines could be limited to the capabilities of their management and drive systems. Most CNC controllers only understand straight line movements and round arcs. In many machines, the arcs are restricted to Stockings the principal XYZ planes as well. Rotary axis movements may be thought-about like linear movements, simply levels as an alternative of distance. To create arc movements or linear movements that are be} at an angle to the principal axes, two or more axes should interpolate together.
