Message: <blockquote data-quote="bitterntwisted" data-source="post: 1519507" data-attributes="member: 46297">I bought the zoom, and wish I'd bought one of the DS eyepieces.  FOV is real narrow, eye-relief is poor and eye placement difficult, and digiscoping (strictly hand-held, record shots only for me)  is really compromised by the vignetting issue, which demands a careful balance of scope and camera zoom to avoid gloomy shadows on images. I thought I had to have a zoom, but find myself using it at between 13 and 27, very rarely 40, and thus no value in it. Graham</blockquote>
