leicanut2 Posted April 1, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was waiting too long or my digital adapter, so I scoped the MP. Fuji 400 Sue took the 50 mm shots as a comparison to the distance covered by the scope. Welcome, dear visitor!

azzo Posted April 1, 2007 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2007 Jan, The tiger's stare enhanced against the darker textured rock make this image really nice. Very well seen and captured. Azzo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 1, 2007 Share #3 Posted April 1, 2007 Jan - Very nice results, the tiger's portrait is lovely, and all but perfect. All it needs, in my view, is some sharpening, as below: Welcome, dear visitor!

martinop Posted April 1, 2007 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2007 Also like the Tiger shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted April 1, 2007 I have found that using the Viso I must lock the mirror up before I take the picture because there is too much vibration. Vibration really show up on a 800mm shot. Also I plan on investing in a stronger tripod. A block of concrete with a 1/4 screw would be the best but a tad to hard to carry around. The pictures are the first using the system so the next time out I should be better. Thanks for looking Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted April 1, 2007 Stuart, I do like what you did it looks better. I may get a 8 by 10 made just to compare yours and mine to see if it is the scan. The tiger in the 4 by 6 is sharp but the duck is a tad soft. Cheers Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted April 1, 2007 Share #7 Posted April 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Looks like you're having fun with that set-up Jan. The tiger shot is a good one. Digiscoping opens up a whole new area of photography. I still enjoy it. Locking up the mirror is important, as is use of a cable release, or self timer to avoid shake.Focusing is critical, as the depth of field is very shallow. Everything is magnified with such a set-up, including errors. A heavy tripod is a help--especially with your camera hanging out in space like that. The farther from the tripod head, the greater the shake. One trick is to drape your jacket over the scope/camera assembly. It helps deaden vibration and stabilize the shakes.

leicanut2 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share #8 Posted April 1, 2007 Dan, Thank you for the tip I never even thought of that. I also am looking to pick up a manfrotto 3051 with a 3 way pan and tilt head, it is rated for up to 17.6 pounds. It will be heavy to carry by itself is 16.6 pounds. Really a clever idea the coat. I just got my adapter for the d-lux 3 Saterday was a long wait 4 months. But now it opens up a new world 560mm to 2700mm range.

dan_drabek Posted April 2, 2007 Share #9 Posted April 2, 2007 Dan, Really a clever idea the coat. Something I learned as an amateur astronomer. Have fun with your new set-up. DD Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted April 2, 2007 Share #10 Posted April 2, 2007 Yeah I think thats what we are seeing here..the proverbial "camera shake" at 800mm you have to have the whole getup.."stone still". Tiger shot the best of the series Regards, Leicamann Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 6, 2011 Share #11 Posted September 6, 2011 An article on "tele XXL" in this month's Naturphoto set me thinking about this whole idea of extreme tele photography, On consideration, I noticed, that whilst there have been some interesting shots with extreme focal lengths, most are boring and flat, good records at best. The best wildlife photography in general - of course there is the odd exception- seems to be at 400 mm and shorter. Looking at my own shots (I can go up to 1100 by stacking teleconverters) this certainly holds true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted September 7, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 7, 2011 Interesting system. Could you please share some tips on this setup? What components are you using? How do you focus with an M body attached to that "lens"? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share #13 Posted September 18, 2011 Used the Visoflex with the 22228 adapter the rest is just the 800mm R camera scope set up. It is a fixed 800mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
