    2012 Coolpix P310

    How good are the new Diascopes?

    One last post with some digiscoped pics. I'll be posting more to my gallery for those that are interested in more. I shoot all of my photos in RAW and haven't messed with the white balance at all in post processing. The colors presented in these photos are basically what you see through the...

    How good are the new Diascopes?

    It occurred to me yesterday that perhaps I was being unfair to Zeiss here, as this thread has quite a few views. People may get the wrong impression regarding quality control and thus reluctant to choose a new Zeiss if the opportunity is there. I regret putting the optical test results here...
