Hi,

I'm interested in the Digiscoping Package that Opticron and SWOptics have put together.
http://www.swoptics.co.uk/list.asp?CAT=22
I'm looking for my 1st scope, that I want to use for digiscopy, and not have to upgrade any time soon.
I was already very interested in the ES80, with either the HDF zoom or the SDLv2 zoom.
Opticron have devised a kit for the ES80 with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS10.

Anyone have any experience, knowledge or advice with this combination.

Many thanks

Colin

Just bought the kit from Srm Griturn. Users the same camera. simple to use. Eyepiece adapter also user friendly. Cost £199 - which may be cheaper than the Opticron set up. Worth a look?
 
I have the DS 7 with the ES80 scope and HDF zoom lens and am very happy with it. The downside is no manual controls but you pay more for the Lumix with these. Am still on a long learning curve with digi scoping but this kit is a good starting point.
