Have you tried your Nikon dslr on the TLS adapter and if so is that soft too? I've never looked at any spotting scope adapters for dslr's or how the optics work in them so it could be what it's doing to the image to make it suitable for the dslr and how far it's having to project the image onto the ccd. That's one reason why I chose a straight astro style scope because it seems the most natural way to get the image onto the ccd with the least amount of glass to degrade the quality.Some reviews I read for the E-420 said the images were on the soft side so maybe it's just the camera.Paul.</blockquote>
