Camera Adaptor
Hello SF,
Quick question if I may, ref your post dated Jan 2006 and the three photos of your camera attached to your spotting scope. I’m wondering how you attached the camera to the scope as shown in Photo 1 (from left to right) … Prime focus. If you mentioned an adaptor name/model number, I’m sorry I must have missed it. I am having no luck finding any information by searching the web.
Enjoy you posts and the information you so generously share. The pictures are great. I have the PF-CA35 but have not had pictures as sharp as yours. I plan to give it another try this weekend.
Thank You
Dick

The prime focus and afocal adaptor are one and the same it's just that when using as prime focus you don't use the extension tube part.
Go here and it will be obvious what I mean:

Dear Sout Fork,
Nice job!!!
I just want to show my first shot of the moon.
The equipments used are the Pentax PF 80 EDA and the Olympus E-500.
The method I had used - handheld photographying with Oly DSLR + Zuiko lens 14-45 mm (F3.5-F5.6) and sopes eyepiece 20X-60X. The picture was taken at 25-30X.
The only problem was with the SLIK AMT tripod which is very light and not able to support Pentax 80mm.
But for birding it is going to be very difficult task to do without proper adapter.
