I have a Canon A590IS and am thinking of buying an Nikon ED50 for digiscoping and general use. I realise the best eyepiece for digiscoping would be the 16x DS but how do the others perform?
My understanding is that the DS (digiscoping) range of eyepieces are designed for digiscoping (particularly with Nikon cameras) and therefore do not have the twist-up eyecups and require fewer adapters to attach them to the Nikon cameras than the MC range of eyepieces. Do these eyepieces offer any advantages for use with non-nikon cameras?
Are the MC range of eyepieces also suitable for digiscoping (albeit not using Nikon Adapters).
Optically how does the MC 27x compare with the DS 27x?
and is the 13-40 MCII zoom suitable for digiscoping (I hear it is darker and has a smaller FOV than the fixed eps)?
I want to know if one eyepiece (13-40) will fulfil my needs or whether I will need 2.
If I need 2 will it be the DS27 plus DS16 or will it be the MC27 plus DS16?
How does the brighter 27x MC compare with the zoom at 40x when IDing distant birds?
Cheers
