I've just posted this in introductions and copying it here!
I live at the Southern end of the Pentland hills.
Now retired.
Life long birder (Kowa scope, Swarovski & Leica bins) - I'm looking to get into Digiscoping birds (& beasts) as a retirement hobby.
To this end I'm contemplating acquiring a mirrorless camera (probably micro 4/3 to keep weight and size down) + lens to go with my TSN 884
Needs to be fairly weatherproof, light and easy to learn how to use.
Thinking about a Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III + a Kowa TSN-DA10 + TSN-AR adaptor.
I'm thinking that in-body and in-lens stabilisation and decent autofocus will be helpful.
Not sure what lens to use - prime or compact zoom? Eager to learn but the price of good gear means trial error is not the way to go! So need others to share their hands on experience of what works and (even more important!) what doesn't work.
Looking forward to learning!
Brims.
