Do any of you use a spotting scope for a camera telephoto lens?? If so, please offer any details like which spotting scopes can be used with which cameras, photo quality, etc. Thanks

This might not be what you are looking for, but here is a picture I took last year of a big 7 point through my 10x binoculars! I was just goofing off and I was surpised it turned out as good as it did! The deer is about 100 yards away!

There are some electronics stores that sell adaptors so you can use your spotting scope & digital camera to take pics.

I think that Bushnell has an adapter for it's spotting scope.

JCB - you just hold the camera up to the eye piece on the binoculars? that is a great pic if so. You make jerky out of that cull?

Yes, I just put the lens of the camera up to the eye piece on one side of the binoculars. I did not make jerky out of him because I did not shoot him. I saw him about 10 times throughout the year, but we want to see what he becomes this year! I bet he will still be a 7 point though since he is 3.5 years old in that picture!

In the past I used a spotting scope for photos, but that was some time back and with a film camera. I still have the scope although I can't remember the brand (and it's buried in my garage). The two biggest issues I had were: 1) the more I zoomed in, the darker the photos got; 2) the more I zoomed in the more grainy the photos got. With that said, the best pictures were those taken in full sun -- which is really the worst time for taking pictures, from both a wildlife and photo standpoint.
