Hi i was wonder,ing if any one has or has tried the Kowa Prominar 500 5.6 for digiscopeing or with the factory dslr fittings I was looking at scopes to give me a longer lens and came across it on ebay. It looks very interesting to me and Kowa thinks it is the way to go but then they would! Any comments thanks
Regards Cranstall

If you don't read Italian, google translate does a pretty good job.

Best,
