Just a few questions

[Black Star]

Hi!

I have a FujiFilm S5800 camera, with a 46 mm diameter lens.Most of you know this camera.It's a fixed lens camera and you can't upgrade it much (additional lenses).Yet, I decided to upgrade it as much as I can, so I decided to purchase a Hoya Circular Polarizer Glass Filter (46 mm) and another B+W 58mm Close-up NL +5 Glass Lens (58 mm).Now, the 58 mm lens will work on my 46 mm lens with a 46mm to 58 mm step up ring?I got the concept right?
I also want to purchase a Raynox QC-180 34-46mm 1.8 Telephoto Converter Snap-On Lens.Maybe you know it.I heard it's pretty known.Will it work on my lens?
The circular polarizer and the close up lens will just screw in my lens?I have understood that the telephoto has some sort of clips to fit on my lens.
Now, a question that is really troubling me : can I stack all these at the same time on my lens for theirs added benefit?I have heard that for example you can stack two close up lenses for increased magnifying power.Is it true?Is this true for the circular polarizer and the close up lens?If not all, at least can I stack any of them?Do I need something extra to do this, or they will just screw in one into another?
Also, does my camera support a remote or a flash unit?I wasn't able to find any details about this.
What other gadgets can you recommend me in order to get out the best of my camera?I don't have the money to purchase a Digital Rebel or anything like it, nor the money for additional lenses.
Thank you in advance!

Best regards!

That should work fine.

The circular polarizer and the close up lens will just screw in my lens?

As long as your lens has filter threads on the end. Most do, but some don't. I don't know anything about this clip on thing your talking about. I've never come across that one.

Now, a question that is really troubling me : can I stack all these at the same time on my lens for theirs added benefit?

You CAN stack them if your really want to, but you will lose significant image quality. Everytime you put another piece of glass in front of your lens you are sacrificing image quality. With something like a CP, the loss is negligible, especially considering the bennifits, but you go stacking filters and your images will get pretty bad pretty fast.

Stacking closeup filters can be fun to play around with, but the resulting hit to IQ and the extreamly narrow depth of field that results from such a thing will make your output not worth much.

Also, does my camera support a remote or a flash unit?I wasn't able to find any details about this..

It may take a remote. That is a pretty common feature, but without a hotshoe it will not support and accessory flash unit.

What other gadgets can you recommend me in order to get out the best of my camera?I don't have the money to purchase a Digital Rebel or anything like it, nor the money for additional lenses.

I have seen the pictures you posted and I personally think they are great, in terms of color, clarity, contrast, sharpness. I really don't think you should be so focused on gear right now. Toys are nice to have, but they are no substitue for skill. I know it's hard to do, but you need to just focus on learning right now. Use what money you have to buy a good digital photography book, and if you can, a copy of photoshop LE, or SE, or whatever they are calling it these days.

I hope this helps you out some.

First of all, thank you for your reply!It has clarified my questions and I also learned something I didn't tink about, the loss of quality from stacking lenses and filters.

Yes, my lens has threads.I have searched the net for everything I could find for my camera.not much, but there are a few interesting things.

It seems that after all, my camera doesn't take a remote, and no it doesn't have a hot shoe, but it can take a slave flash.I have found some especially designed for my camera.

I want to have the equipment before taking a really great shot and then regret it doesn't have the quality I wanted.I also want to make more indoor/people shots, yet I don't know how.I do mostly landscapes/wildlife.I like it.But I like more to make great people shots.Yet, my people shots are still awfull.

You'll need to learn more about what your camera is capable of. Adding doo-dads won't help unless you understand exactly what they do and how they affect your images.
Post up one of your people shots that you think is awful and someone here will be able to help you with what's bad and what you can do to correct it.
Good cameras take bad pictures and cheap cameras take good pictures.

I will make another thread in wich I will post pictures with peoples that I think they are awfull.Right now are too many to sort them out.

Thank you for your help!
