    8x32 without blackouts?

    I currently own a pair of Monarch 7 8x30. Light weight and sharp, great binos for the price. I do however don’t fancy the blackouts these binos unfortunately give me. Which 8x32 offer a sharp image without CA and without blackouts?

    Kowa 883 still the best one?

    Hi. I’ve had a hiatus due to kids and life and during this period I’ve only had my Celestron Regal 65–D. It’s been very very good for the money but now I want something more premium. I’ve missed the last 6 years of new products but is the Kowa 883 still top of the bunch? I want a spotting scope...

    IS binocular - recommendation?

    Hi. I just love the view in stabilised binoculars and the time has come to buy one. I just wonder which one you recommend at the moment? I don't care that much if it's 10 or 12 magnification but I know that the old cheaper Canons did have some quirks (and still have) like a lot of CA. Mark II...

    Lens for birds and dragonflies

    Hi. I have done a fair share of photography last 10 years and owned a 7d with canon 400 f5.6, Nikon d7000, Olympus OM-D and a few superzooms. Due to lots of work and other hobbies I have been inactive in wildlife photo last years but now I am returning again. Currently I own a D7100 with Sigma...

    How good is D7000 AF-C compared to Canon 7D?

    Hi. I have used 7D with Canon 400 f5.6 for bif quite a lot and the combo is great. Love the AF with focus limiter. For different reasons I now instead own a Nikon D7000 and I wonder how good the AF-C is compared to ai servo on the 7D? Naturally I need good glass too on the Nikon but first I...

    How do I attach a Nikon D7000 to a Velbon 635?

    Hi, I got a Velbon carbon tripod, CF635, and I wonder how to attach it to my camera, a Nikon D7000. I got a Manfrotto 128RC tripod head for my scope but the quick plate on the head does not fit my camera. Do I need a new tripod head?

    Monopod for Canon 400mm 5.6

    Hi, I don´t know much about monopods so I´l just ask you guys who probably tried a few setups. Can you recommend a monopod with or without a head for my 7d and 400?

    Anyone actually damaged their lens?

    So I just bought a Canon 400mm f5.6 L from Kerso, very happy with the trade btw! And I just wonder if anyone actually damaged their front lens and think that a UV-filter would had saved it? And do you use uv-filters? AND is there any uv-filters good enough to nearly not decrease image quality...

    Confusion concerning flouride in optics

    Hi! Can someone explain to a layman the difference between optics like the Kowa 883 prominar who uses 'real?' flouride and other optics that contains less, or is it another material similar to flouride? I have problems explaining what I mean but I hope you understand me. Thanks!

    CR2, DNG etc, what do you use?

    Hi, I wonder how you store your images. I currently store all my images as the cr2 images they are imported from the camera. It has the pro or con that you get a separate file for metadata and probably lots of more pros and cons vs DNG or other type of files. How and why do you store your...

    Eyepiece around 20-25x for Celestron Regal ?

    Hello, perhaps the question has been asked before but I can not find any good answers so I ask again. Can someone recommend a good fixed EP for the Celestron Regal scope? Since it accepts astro EPs the market is huge and I really need some help here. From 18-25x would be nice, I´d like it for...

    What scope would you buy if had to pick one?

    I currently need a new scope, I sold my Swaro ATS65HD because I needed the cash for a camera. I love the camera but now I need a scope too. It seems that the Celestron Regal is the number one when it comes to price vs performance so I assume this is the best buy. I have tried it and I really...

    Question about the Canon 400 5.6 lens

    Hi! Like so many others I have reached the time to decide between the 400mm prime and 100-400 L IS. I have read a lot, and tried the 100-400L IS enough to know that I would be happy to own it. But I still consider the 400 5.6 because of it´s added sharpness, faster AF and slightly smaller size...

    The new Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6L IS USM

    Has anyone else looked at this with interest? Perhaps it is a bit too short for birds since it can´t take an teleconverter, but for general wildlife use it is a compact and probably sharp alternative. And look how small it is extended, here is a small preview of it...

    Question - EF 70-200/4 L USM/ IS ?

    Is the 70-200/4 L USM a good lens to use for all round photography, travel, wildlife, photographing our dog during training etc? Im quite used to having some zoom versatility from my superzooms so I would like a superzoom as a general lens on the dslr too. I know the 70-200/4 is too short for...
