I think enough of fungi debate.

i don't see anything weird inside my lens. check this to see the lens for yourself https://imgur.com/a/CHSTI
if you found something weird, tell me...

......now I'm even more curious how you get that close up shot.

Cannot see clearly, but is there a filter attached to the front? Cause there should be something written in front, but can't see. If there is, how about taking that off and take another shot.

i zoomed in the lens. it creates a deeper apparent depth (physics LOL). also i use my phone to take the pic
never put a filter on the lens before (and now)...

You sure? Cause I can see a bit of 4.3mm at your lens corner which seems like blocked by something. Maybe try checking real close if got filter on it. Cause funnily I heard of cases where people didn't even realise there is a filter in front cause they bought it second hand.

Well, if that's just the barrel zoom extension, guess it's your camera defect.

This is what I google on your camera model:


This is yours:

that's not the filter label... it's the label on the side of the lens just like the pic you googled.

Well, guess it is kaput.......... in 'sharpness' sense. Though I'm not sure if it's just cause of settings issue, lens coating issue, different sharpness at different zoom pointed out by others, or whatnot. You can try to repair it, but really what's the point

From what I look, the focusing is slightly off, could be something to do with your lens elements.

If you want something decent from superzoom camera, you would need to fork out quite a bit to get the RX10 series.

the point is, i want to see far things clearer. i'm curious of what i can't see, something far from me. if the sharpness is "meh", i cannot see anything with details

RM 4600. no thanks but i found some alternatives which is around RM1500 only.

Those have the softness issue due to the cost-cutting lens. There is nothing much to expect from a cheap bridge.

I looked at the BEFORE and AFTER shots again and again, both looked equally bad. LOL.

In the AFTER shots, those super duper zoomed in look acceptable for super zoom quality.

It's difficult to gauge without any EXIF info, for example it could be just area of focus or a matter of slight blur due to shutter speed.

The latest link is better.

What you should do, since this is a super zoom lens - test is at ONE location. Put if on a tripod if you may, if not then put it on a fence or a car.

Then you shoot using AF mode - from widest to the most zoomed in at the same location.
