    Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

    Auto Focus though a scope with the camera lens at full zoom is going to be iffy except in very good light. I normally back off the zoom at least one click until the Aperture is less than the maximum. Otherwise switch to Manual Mode (Infinity Focusing ) and manually focus the scope until the...

    Jamie, I hope it is going to work. As Paul says though the lens may be a bit short. My Nikon 8400 lens is 24-85 mm and although it is very sharp ( it incorporates ED glass ) it's not much use at the wide end. It takes great landscape at photos at 24 mm though. We need to see one in...
