Barlow lens with Webcam

Post by ChaosKnight »

Is it possible to use a barlow lens when doing webcam photography? Anyone done this before, can share experience??
Thanks.

Certainly. The barlow acts as a focal length extender, so magnification increases. Stacking barlows is also possible, if your aperture allows it. I've tried stacking two barlows before, but the images were too dim.
