Spotting Scope
      #645354 - 20/04/2008 12:28

I'm thinking of buying a spotting scope.
However, I will want to attach my Sony Alpha A100 to take pictures. What sort of adapter will I need, and can anyone recommend a suitable make of scope that preferably comes with an adapter?
Also, will I need to change any of the menu functions on the camera, to enable me to take the pictures?
Thanks in advance.

SLRs aren't normally the best for digiscoping, and you should find useful advice here and here.
