adapter for spotting scope
« on: March 24, 2009, 08:24:44 AM »
I have been trying to find an adapter that will connect my camera (ok, its my wifey's camera), to a spotting scope, but haven't had much luck. I thought I would ask you camera experts for some help.
The camera is a Mamiya 645 Pro (medium format)
thanks for any info

Is the one from cabelas around 40 bucks? I checked awhile back and it said "no longer available"

I don't know squat about medium format cameras but i will assume the problem you are having is adapting to the diameter of the lense?
i can't find anything that will work for my little fz camera because of the lense size, but i'll admit i haven't looked very hard.
those ones from cabelas are meant for little point and shoot cameras with the little lenses. the diameter of the lense is the issue.

Here is the technique you are looking at.  One the right of this page is a tab for adapters.  Maybe that can lead you to the right spot.

yea, just checked the cabelas one, it will not fit the mamiya due to size of lens. I'm gonna check the digiscoping link.

My camera is a film camera, it is not digital

What brand is your spotting scope? Swarovski makes adapters for bigger lenses for their spotters.
