    Panasonic FS16 with opticron scope

    Hi everybody, though last spring I wasn't able to make so many photos as I'd have liked, I want to share with you one of my best pics with the opticron/panasonic kit up to now, a beautiful Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe Oenanthe) near La Granja (Segovia, Spain). Thanks a lot, your advices were...

    Panasonic FS16 with opticron scope

    Thanks everyone for your advice, they are really very useful for me. I've already made some pics with macro mode and paying attention to Richard's advice for focusing, and I think things are getting better - though today it's very cloudy in Segovia. You can see a deep study on my neighbour's...

    Panasonic FS16 with opticron scope

    Hi, I've bought the panasonic fs16 kit to adapt it to an opticron HR 80 SDL eyepiece and I've already made my first pictures with it. As others said, it's really very easy to use the adaptor and the camera, but I have some problems to get sharp images. I've seen that some people have had the...

    opticron adapter for canon s95 and panasonic kit

    Andy - Thanks a lot for your reply, I wanted to know some user's opinions about the kit, because it's not very easy to find them. And thanks to Pete again for your help. Eventually, I think I'm going to buy the panasonic kit and the nikon t-mount too. Cheers, Fernando

    opticron adapter for canon s95 and panasonic kit

So, I wonder if it would be possible to buy the...

    opticron adapter for canon s95 and panasonic kit

    Thanks a lot, Pete. I suppose the universal adapter for the canon s95 may be a risky choice. I'm also weighing up the possibility of adapting my SLR camera, a nikon d3100. I know the pros and cons of digiscoping with SLR cameras (a bulkier equipment, etc.) but I'd like to know which adapters and...

    opticron adapter for canon s95 and panasonic kit

    Hi, I've bought an opticron scope, the HR 80 GA ED/45. I'm very glad, I think that it's a great scope (considerably cheaper than Swa, Leica, and so on, although it's not obviously so "perfect"). I'm interested in digiscoping (I'm a beginner) and I'm looking for a suitable camera for this scope...

    Hello!

    Hello, this is my first message here. I live in Segovia (Spain) a very interesting place for birds. I apologize for my mistakes because my English is not really good. I hope to learn a lot here... Thanks in advance! Regards, Fernando
