Fellow Birders,
Kowa announced in the most recent issue of "Birding", a digital camera
adapter for their scopes, for digiscoping photos. They are advertised
for Kowa's new scopes, but I have been in touch with Kowa, and they will
work on the old TSN Series of which I have two, both inclined and
straight. Eagle Optics has the kit. Please note that you do NOT need the
DA1-AR27 Extension Ring to use the adapter with the old TSN zoom
eyepiece, only with the new 82mm scopes. The adapter will fit several
cameras, depending on which adapter ring that you purchase. They will
definitely fit the Nikon CoolPix 995, which has a 28mm lens. The folks
at Eagle Optics (in which I have no material interest) are very helpful,
and answer email quickly.
Can't wait to receive mine. Will post more after trials.
Buddy
