How about Kowa TE-20H eyepiece 25x where are 32mm eye relief, is it usable with this camera and Kowa 883 scope
Hi Musti,
The LX3 is perfectly usable with this eyepiece. It works fine at full zoom which is where you would use it all the time, I think you'd find.
However, I have myself been disappointed with the image and am returning the camera. I bought it strictly for digiscoping and have been unimpressed. Why this is I find difficult to define; but I have had no really stunning images that I had expected from this combination. As a general camera, particularly for landscape, it is a gem. The colour is superb and the high res of the screen is brilliant. Read through a few of the pages of this blog to see some superb exampls of what the camera can achieve:

I wouldn't want to say outright that it's not capable of producing superb results (I'm certain someone will post something to prove this), but from all the experimenting I've done, my opinion is that the number of 'keepers' will be low. I was disappointed with the noise and the resolving power of the lens. I am really looking forward to Rick's analysis of the LX150, as I suspect that this will be the better option, particularly as it's a couple of hundred UK pounds cheaper than the LX3!
As an example of what I mean, I pulled an old Olympus C5050 out of the cupboard, and within five minutes had produced better results handheld than the LX3 had produced; much more slowly and noisily of course, but interesting I think you'll agree. I also tried my old F30 with similar results.
I know that Neal and others are producing superb results with the G1, but I ideally want a digiscoping camera I can slip in the back pocket of my trousers.
Just my opinion and nothing more.
