    Best Lens for Panosonic GH4/5 with Digiadapter

    Niels, Certainly not a pro myself and expect to use the camera off the scope for stills but as of right now the pre release reviews are calling this camera a significant step forward from a video standpoint from the GH4 which many here consider one of the better cameras for videoscoping. Open...

    Best Lens for Panosonic GH4/5 with Digiadapter

    Looking for advice on the best lens for videoscoping with the GH5 (realizing it is not relaeased yet so relying on GH 4 experience.) Potential choices include: 1) Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH (most experience out there) 2) Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 (possibly some...

    Videoscoping with Panasonic GH4

    Neil, Forgive me, had forgotten had asked you about this lens on the GH4 Digiscoping thread. Unless you have tried it out since your response to that query please ignore this redundant question about the 25 mm lens.

    Videoscoping with Panasonic GH4

    Neil, Any experience with the Panosonic/Leica 25 mm lens. If so how does it compare to the 20 mm 1.7? Thanks, Frank

    Videoscoping with Panasonic GH4

    Neil, Do you require use of a balance rail when using the GH4 with a fluid head and your scope. I have the Kowa 884 and am contemplating the GH4 but expect I will also need a balance rail to match this to my fluid head. I know the Swaro has its own balance rail and realize you may be using...

    Long balance rail

    What length balance rail are people typically using when digiscoping with a heavier camera such as a Panasonic GH4 and a fluid head to achieve proper balance?

    Long balance rail

    Werner, I would be interested in what you found. BTW just found your post. I know Hejner Photo here in the states makes them. http://www.hejnarphotostore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_44&products_id=36

    Disocoping with the Panasonic GH4

    Simon, Did you also use a ND filter with your GH4 and Kowa setup as Neil does or did you find this unnecessary? Thanks, Frank

    autofocus DSLR through TLS APO

    Buzzard, Thanks for the input. I certainly understand that the scopes have no autofocus. Just wanted to make sure that as the scope and camera lens each has a series of elements that if the scope was nearly in focus that the camera by changing its lenses elements positions was not able to...

    autofocus DSLR through TLS APO

    Mario, Not sure if my question was clear. What I was trying to get at was if you have the scope pretty close to correct focus, but not exact, is the camera able to achieve a correct focus just by adjusting the camera's lenses elements or is it critical that the scope be 100% accurately focused...

    autofocus DSLR through TLS APO

    Please forgive my ignorance but if you are digiscoping through a camera lens with autofocus capability and the spotting scope is slightly out of focus, will the camera/lenses autofocus correct for this and usually reachieve an accurate focus?

    New Sony RX 100 M2 for Digiscoping

    Disocoping with the Panasonic GH4

    Neil, Can you teach me about the need for the ND filters with the GH4. Also is the Leica Panosonic 25 mm f1.4 a good digiscoping lens with this camera? Thanks, Frank

    Question for the experts regarding adapters

    Neil, Perhaps this deserves another thread but can you explain how focus peaking works?
