I use the Samsung NV8 camera which although Opticron never officially provided an adaptor, the kit for the NV15 fits perfectly as they use the same lens. The parts for this are still available from Opticron. The NV8 can still be obtained from Amazon (£99). If you want an example then look at this months photo competition where I have entered a picture of a Kittiwake taken at Bempton cliffs in May this year. I am sure that the latest Opticcron scopes will provide even better results. As for the camera you can use any of the Samsung NV range with the Opticron adapter as they all have the same lens. However, in their effort to up the megapixels Samsung kept the size of the sensor the same which unfortunately produces poorer contrast and more noise which is why I stuck with the 8M pixel NV8.</blockquote>
