Setup #1 : Canon PowerShot A95 + Swarovski ATS80HD
Setup #2 : Canon 20D + 50mm lens + Swarovski ATS80HD
Setup #3 : Canon 20D + Swarovski TLS-800 + Swarovski ATS80HD

I use digiscoping for less than 10% of my work.

How do you compare the output qualities from setup #2 to setup #3?

Marcel,canyou show some shots taken from the various set ups,esp the 2 and 3 set up.Ie to compare the SLR set up,3, with say the set up 1.

Hello

I attached 4 samples.
Setup 1 : Red-winged Blackbird
Setup 2 : American Goldfinch & Common Merganser
Setup 3 : Mourning Dove

Also, visiting my Birdforum gallery & my personal Website photo gallery will show you more samples.

Setup 2 & 3 are perfect to photograph birds in action. Manual focus is always used.

Setup 3 (TLS-800) is harder to use because you should experiment different speed untill you get the correct light.

Thanks,Marcel,set up 3 is a good pic,so digiscoping using the SLR with the tSL 800 can produce a clear image.Many thanks.

There's another example with setup #2 (Canon Digital Rebel + f1.8 50mm + Swaro 80HD)
A full frame & an edited version are shown cropped at 600x400 px
Details : Cloudy, ISO 200, f1.8, 1/100sec., Swaro at 20X

Lovely shot, Marcel! I should look into attaching my D70 to my Zeiss
and give it a try...
