    Advice for my first camera

    Thanks for your reply . If i go the apsc route , i am more or less convince yo buy the Tamron 100-400 . For the apsc bodies , i was looking at something like a Canon EOS 250d or a Nikon D5600 , primarily because the are under 500gr, but i dont know if they are a bit to old and maybe there are...

    Advice for a scope

    Thank you Jinac and Birdister . The thing is that at x54 with the Opticron and at +- x55 with the SvBony , i could see more sharpness in the image in the SvBony .

    Advice for a scope

    Hi Dipped .In what parameters do you se that the Opticron is better? I saw the image less crisp and with more blue tint to the edges of the objects . To my eyes it only seemed clearly better in low magnifocations ( under 36)
