My fantastic new travel/everyday camera...

I was on the road and got out of the car by a lake to strech my legs.

I found two turtles sunning themselves on a branch sticking out of the water by the shoreline.

Being rather tired I was in no mood to fetch my NX300.

Instead I pulled out my WB250F and went by the turtles.

With the sun I could not see well enough on my LCD.

That's when I got hit with a bolt of lighting - how about sticking my 3x2 loupe, which I use on my NX300 on the back of my WB250F.

I ran back to my car got my loupe and some tape put it on my WB250F and

immediately I realized I have a new travel camera.

At 25-432mm with perfect viewing of my subjects in the loupe, regardless of the sun,

I was amazed at the possibilities.

Well here is the turtle shot, a crop of a 432mm shot with my WB250F using the loupe,

and some pics of my modified WB250F.

I think I will redesign the connections with velcro so I can easily switch between my NX300 and my WB250F.

Now I an wondering how this would work on the Mini, provided I could get a 400mm reach.
