    Nikon D500/d7200 or Canon 7D mk2?

    But according to Dpreview test, I can see better image quality in D500 than d7200 in most ISO settings... Is is easily feasible to do BIF with the D7200? Digiscoping was supposed to be capable to do so... but it's not unless investing long hours to get a single picture. @Petequad I've...

    Nikon D500/d7200 or Canon 7D mk2?

    I was using a 30 mm TLS APO through a Swarovski ATX 85. Tried with both the panasonic G6 and the GH4, the quality and amount of good pictures is disappointing (for me). There is a 4 Mpx difference between the d500 and the d7200. And I didn't know about the D500 ISO issue with low light...

    Nikon D500/d7200 or Canon 7D mk2?

    Hi, I've been trying to use my swaro scope for digiscoping. The results, however, are quite disappointing. Image quality is low and the out-of-focus pictures are counted in hundreds. I got a second-hand panasonic G6 camera and tested also a GH4, with unpleasing results. On the other hand, I use...

    Sony Nex 5 + TLS APO + Swarovski ATX 85, not working

    Actually I gave up with the tls apo + sony nex combination, it doesn't work. TLS APO was designed for micro 4/3 sensors.... I've bought an used panasonic g5... with greatly improved results. I expect to have a better tripod in a few days and I'll make a review of both systems, mainly focusing...

    APPS for bird watchers

    Indeed. But it only makes sense if you're in Catalonia. They don't use this database in Spain (but they do in Catalonia...). I'm not trying to start any national-indenpendency issue here... just pointing out that they are using a different database. In fact, I'm in touch with birders outside...

    APPS for bird watchers

    Hi there, there are a couple of apps you can use... specially since Spanish birding association promotes a useless database... :C:C:C -Ebird: it allows you to track your sights AND you can check the sightings on their website. -Aves de españa: promoted by the spanish association. It's...

    Sony Nex 5 + TLS APO + Swarovski ATX 85, not working

    Some tuning must be done within the menu, but the results are reasonably good -Vignetting compensation -Chromic aberration compensation -Manual focus assistance ON (then you can tap on the screen for some digital zoom and focus tunning) -Focus peaking off. I find it rather annoying instead of...

    Sony Nex 5 + TLS APO + Swarovski ATX 85, not working

    Well, I answer myself. The working combination is: 30mm TLS APO and the opticron T2 adapter

    Sony Nex 5 + TLS APO + Swarovski ATX 85, not working

    Hello, I've read some good reports on this setting. But I get a tremendous amount of vignetting and dark areas close to the corner. I'm using the 23mm version of the TLS APO and I've tried a couple of adapters: opticron's and Dorr's. Opticron's allows me to identify the bird but it's not even...
