Can anyone please help me, I have a zhumell 30x90x118 scope and whilst the distance is good the clarity when i try to use a camera is not good, it has a bayonet fitting eyepiece, i am trying to get a wide angle lens but am not sure what i need to get, any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
DJ

Hello
Your scope is a beast:

According to the link above you will have a goode chance of obtaining digiscoped images
at minimum zoom with an exit pupil of 4.2mm and eye relief of 18mm. Your problem may well be the camera you are using. Can you describe your digiscoping rig and technique in a little more detail?
Cheers Dave

Hi dahyon, i think the adapter i am using could be the biggest problem, my scoping camera is a sony dsc-w55. A friend uses the same camera and achieves good results with his set up, the adapter i have been trying to use is a opticron universal, and i do have difficulty with the light affecting the images, someone has just recommended the srb griturn universal which does look a better set up.
Thanks for your help and any other tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
