Thanks,
you have to removed the eyecup from the scope to connect the objective of the cam.
There is no adapter needed. The thread of the objective (52 mm) is the same as the thread of the scope (without the scope cap).
Have a look at the foto above. Hope you understand what I mean.
Hope it was helpful to you.

I forgot to mention the excellent color rendition of the X-T1 in three different colors (white, red or blue). Very helpful for using the manual focus.

Hi Werner,
Fantastic photos, thanks for sharing. Could you answer the following.
1 Do you have to remove the camera to look through the scope eyepiece.
2 How many turns of the camera do you need before you are happy that the camera is firmly in place on the eyepiece thread. Do you feel that this is quite a practical arrangement for using in the field ?
3. Do you think it helps that all light is eliminated from the side when the camera lens and eyepiece are joined together.
I hope you understand my questions.

Thank you!
1. Yes you have to unscrew the camera objective from the scope.
That needs about 10 seconds.
2. that needs another 10 seconds.
For digiscoping it is a practical arrangement but not so suitable for
birding!
3. There a no lights from the side. The objective of the camera is screwed
with the scope. There are no problems with lights from the side.

Here are several pictures that I took yesterday with the setup.
It was a cloudy/dim day with poor light condition in HK.
Did some minor post editing with them.
Link to several more pictures on picasa web album is here:

Sure. I am no good at estimating the distance though.
The close-up shot of the curlew and one of the gull pics were taken with v1 at around 15m
Others were a bit farther at 20-30m
Not sure if that's the real distance though.
