Lovely shots on a great combo Jason.
I'm just wondering whether the Kowa lens-scope's fixed focal length adapters are any better optically compared to the zoomable FSA-L2 adapter for Nikon's EDG85 (as per this thread http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=191758).
Of course, the FSA-L2 is an all-in-one solution for different focal lengths as it can zoom between 590 to 1750mm.
Any comments?

Spectacular shot Jason. And a belated congrats on your pics becoming THE official digiscoping promos for the EDG line. Your shots certainly deserve to be published!
So do the EDG design "features" (heavier weight, large focus wheel, and larger tripod foot,etc.) really make it an easier/better scope to digiscope with than the old fieldscopes?
Have you moved up to the VR version yet? I was in high wind digiscoping a Siberian Crane with an ED50 a few days ago and was wishing I had VR assist for focusing!
Great shots Jason!!:t:

The advantages of EDG over ED series is the FSA-L2 adapter, wide zoom eyepiece 20-60x, better contrast and well controlled CA.
What I really hope for Nikon to design new EDG scope with built in FSA-L2 adapter. Does not matter if the length is similar with the current EDG when FSA-L2 attached.
Is that because there is some flex in the bayonet mount causing some alignment issues when a heavy dslr is attached? I know there have been similar reports with the Kowa photoscope.
