Well that's going to depend a lot on you. As a fellow firearms enthusiast I can tell you once you attach this to your spotting scope you will lose auto-focus and you'll have no metering, so you will be shooting in full manual mode.How will the pictures turn out?
I am retired with nothing to do.
You'll just be shooting in Manual; many of us do it routinely. Keep an eye on your histograms and you should be able to dial-in decent exposure settings pretty quickly. What you will be able to use to great effect will be Auto-ISO. You'll have a fairly small aperture with that scope and you're going to want to keep your shutter speed relatively high, probably in the 1/500 range to ensure sharp shots. Focusing will be manual.so we go back about 20 yrs in time and do it by eye and on the fly. I think it will be worth it completely. The photos will tell me what I am doing right and wrong. I can live with that
Keep us informed.I ordered the attachments for the spotting scope to the camera and I have been surfing the internet and found some incredible pictures taken via Digiscoping. It is an art among itself, you cannot just hook it up and start taking pictures. There is a lot of info that needs to be learned so I'm just surfing and getting some information that will guide me through this.
I do not understand why some people say it isn't worth it unless they have buyers remorse from spending thousands when digiscoping is turning out some incredible pictures that camera lenses cannot match and it is less than 10% the cost.
If you start out with a spotting scope that has excellent glass what is keeping the pictures from coming out excellent? I know with digital equipment these days it is a lot cheaper than spending money on film and development and we can see the results instantly without added cost.
