Been playing around with a Nikon V1 and 18.5mm lens setup on my Kowa 883 with fair to good results. However, the noise levels at ISO's above 600-700 are problematic, for me at least.
I'm interested in any comments about direct-coupling a light DSLR to the scope's eyepiece with Kowa's new PA7 adapter. Could get decent ISO performance to 1600 or more unless the effective focal length on the rig is crazy high.
Pros:
One lens on the sensor
25x to maybe 40x magnification with the TZ11
Cons:
