GF1 - Swarvoski STS80HD (1 Viewer)

pitns · Sep 24, 2010

Hi all,

I would like some advice on what is available to conect my GF1 directly to a Swarvoski STS80HD scope so as to use the scope as a lens! Is it possible, is it worth while and what might i expect the results to be like.

I only have the GF1 body, thats why i want to use the scope and it rules out lens attachment type adapters.

Regards

Pitns,

You should find this thread interesting as most of it applies to the GF1/G2 as well - http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=133032

For my set-up, I use a Swarovski ats65hd & 25x50WA Zoom with a G2, a Canon 28mm 2.8 (bought off Ebay after Neil's advice with an adaptor, also Ebay) screwed on to the Swarovski DCA. http://www.swarovskioptik.us/en_us/products/camera-adapters#

Sorry for the late reply, but I've been using the GF1 with the same scope you have. My best combination is turning out to be the Swaro 30xW eyepiece, the Swaro adapter, a Canon/MFT adapter, and a used Canon FD 24mm f/2 lens.
