RJM Those are good results with the zoom lens and the hand held camera, I worried the zoom lense would be too dark to get shots like those but evidently it is also very good.At the moment I could only afford one eyepiece and I'm unsure what to get. I've got a feeling that the best combination of two eyepieces overall would be one of the 27x eyepieces (for day to day birding) and a 16x eyepiece (for scanning for birds before swapping lenses to the 27x, digiscoping and for use on dim days). However the 20x and zoom probably offer the best compromise (not as bright as the 16x for digiscoping, not as good as the 27x for id'ing but capable for both).Horukuru, have you tried the 27x DS against the 27x MC? why did you pick the 27x DS rather than the 27x MC? is the MC any better optically? is the MC suitable for digiscoping?Thanks aagin for your helpful comments, Pete</blockquote>
