Homemade Adapter for Leica 20-60 Zoom
For anybody starting digiscoping whose first love, like me, is bird watching this cheap and easy adapter for the leica 20 – 60 zoom seems a good first step. All that is required is the black plastic cover from a Tamron Abteil lens adapter and a 28mm 37mm step-up ring ( many old hands at 35mm photography like myself might well have a couple for the aforementioned tamron lens adapters tucked away in their camera bag, if not then any good second hand camera shop ) . The tamron adapter requires a hole slightly larger than 28mm cutting in it and the step-up ring bonding into place. This produces an adapter that fits tightly enough but allows for quick removal when required. For anybody reading this that has experience using a good bonding agent (I used run of the mill super glue) I would appreciate a good product name.
