    Dale, Thank you so much for your reply, it has been very informative. A question please: I have a Sigma 50 to 500mm telephoto lens with an f between F4 and F6.3. I also have a Sigma 2X teleconverter which looses 2 f stops and which would make the lens a 1000 mm lens at f 8.3. Would you...

    Angle vs Straight

    Rick, Thank you for the reply. The problems I see with the FSA-L1 is that you are limited to the scopes lowest power. You also have to remove the eyepiece in order to use it. I do not see this as beneficial Philip
