Darlene, I've not taken many, but I have some photos of the Kelp Gull that were taken using my 35mm camera and my Kowa scope. I have an attachment that holds the camera to the scope (in other words, the camera is not just held up to the eyepiece of the scope as the digital cameras are). On the same page are two photos taken with a telephoto lens for comparison. http://www.nestbox.com/kegu.htm As you can see, the photos through the scope are pretty close to those taken with the telephoto. ///////// Arlene Ripley | || Calvert County, MD | 0 || aripley@nestbox.com | || http://www.nestbox.com || ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
