The perfect DIY digiscoping adapter ;-) Please forgive the loudmouthed title but this little thing is my pride and joy today! :king: I wanted to connect my Canon S95 compact camera with my beloved Nikon Fieldscope ED 82A. After twiddling a while with plumber pipes, rubber bands, bog rolls...

Hi, I love my tiny Nikon ED50 but I disliked the original soft case provided with the scope. The Nikon Grippa Case is great in principle (and dirt cheap - I paid € 8.90 at Amazon) but the fastening screw prevents the scope from tripod use. So I cut it away, sewed two loops instead and pulled...

Ooops I did it again... Yesterday I received a grey Nikon ED50 for hikes and to complement my ED82A. First impressions: So small, so light, and oh so great optics - simply stunning, love at first sight! :t: (Of course, in dim light the large ED82A plays in another league.) The ED50 works...

I’m confused. :-C I have a Nikon Fieldscope ED82A with 30x MC Wide (non-DS) and 25-75x MCII eyepieces. Now I’m interested in digiscoping – I know, it’s generally done with a compact digicam fixed on the eyepiece. I would like to use a Panasonic Lumix G1 instead. But how? The first possibility...

I prefer fixed eyepieces but my wife would like to have a zoom for our Fieldscope ED82A. She is not interested in the smaller 13-30/20-45/25-56x zoom but in the stronger 25-75x. I recently tried the current 13-40/20-60/25-75x MCII (BDB90075) and disliked its narrow, hard-to-grip zooming ring...

Two weeks ago I bought a Nikon ED82A (oh so great… :king:). At first I thought I would go with the versatile 25-75 MC II zoom but after trying the 30x WF side by side with the zoom I found out that this fixed eyepiece in fact has the “Wow!” factor so often mentioned in this forum and would fill...

First of all, sorry for my stumbling English. After years of frequently frustrating experience with an old Optolyth 22-60x70 collapsible scope and some other years without a scope – the Optolyth convinced me of the superior mileage I got from my Leica Trinovids 8x42 and 10x25 – I decided to...

Hello, I am new to this forum - nice place to be! I am planning to buy a Nikon ED 82A within the next weeks and wonder whether my old foto tripod and head will be an appropriate support: It is a Manfrotto 055 Triminor (= Bogen 3021?) from the early 1990's; the center column has been removed for...
