Opticron HDF zoom and Lumix TZ3 Vignetting - advice please
Hi All,
Firstly, I'm not into digiscoping big time, but always like to try and take a couple of record shots every now and then and obviously want them to be as nice as poss. Secondly I'm assuming vignetting is the term to describe the effect when your picture is blacked out except for a circular view in the middle which had your subject in it!
Currently I have the Lumix TZ3 which I am using hand held against the lens. With my opticron IS60 scope the shots I get are fine - no vignetting, but as this is a non-ED scope overall quality is not great
When I use the camera with my Opticron ESGA (ED glass) and HDF lens I get quite a lot of vignetting. I've tried zooming in and out with scope and camera but without much luck.
Are there any tricks of the trade or is this simply something that should be dealt with by cropping?
Thanks in advance
Perry
