If I remember correctly, some scopes have optional adapters for cameras, and it makes for a better fit. Might be worth looking into if you plan to use a scope for photos. Speaking of cameras, I was thinking of adding a tele lens for bird photography. Anybody out there with some recommendations as to make and size? Some people on our AZ trip had 400 mm Sigmas, which they said worked well.
