Greetings all...

Beacause we just moved to a viewhome here in San Diego, we said we must have a way to enjoy the scenery. I just purchased a Pentax PF80-ED-A and need to couple it with my Sony DSC-P92 Camera. Has anyone had any experience using these together? I found the Scopetronix site, and they seem to have the best devices to mate these two. Any suggestions how to make the most of these is appreciateed...

Best regards

Marc

I have coupled my P93 to a tasco scope.
Get a fairly rigid plastic bottle to fit over the Lense adaptor. Cut the bottom off the bottle and clamp it around the lens adaptor. Drill a hole in the metal lid of the bottle and place that over the eyepice thread and then crew the eyepiec back in. Can put camera on and off scope easily.
 
Scopetronix do have good adapters. I've purchased some in the past. Why look further? If you have a mechanic shop in your neighborhood, they can make you an adapter, but I doubt if it will cost you less.
