I made an adapter for my 65mm Zeiss and one can do nice things. Both my Dad and Brother Bill have the actual Zeiss SLR adapter and it is of course,more of a good thing.
I'll play more seriously with my new Canon XTi digital SLR on my next R&R and will ask to pinch the adpter from Bill,as a curiousity.
Can't know if he's banged much with his Nikon D70 through same................
Have played around with ours a bit, though not with the D70 attached. I used my Canon. Its a bit difficult (I have a shitty tripod) to center the object but they turn out ok. I've got a pic on photobucket (I think) of a doe on the Island out front of the house...I'll take a look.
Initial thoughts are that the adapter we got with the Zeiss spotter is just too damn heavy to want to pack around much. Its ok for glassing Alpine in the early season, but a little much for throwing in the pack.
I hope to have a report and pictures from the cabelas universal camera/spotter adapter.
The spotter is a leupold goldring 12x40x60,camera is a canon something or other. I just picked the adapter up last night. I paired the spotter and camera this morning while glassing for bucks. I wasnt impressed at all with the pictures but it was pretty dark/heavy overcast and a little foggy. It probly would have been hard to take pictures with the camera alone this morning. I didnt stay out long so I didnt play with it much. I'll get out on a nicer day and give it a test drive.
65mm straight, if a guy were going to spend hours behind it, I could see the benefit of the angled version. When we were sheep hunting this fall, it woulda been nice.
For Paradise applications, the straight is the way to go...IMO.
The eyepiece on the angled spotter is nice for collecting rainwater for drinking though. If you happen to find yourself in a place with any precipitation.
