I've just read the spec for the GX-20, and it says it has live view - I may very well change just for that.

I think I'll be giving these people a call to see what they're offering PX wise for the GX-10.

Expensive maybe, but a decent mid-range scope goes for no more than an entry level telephoto lense from what I have seen so far.

The problem seems to be in finding a scope that will allow fitting a DSLR body or lense. Unless you use a Nikon or Cannon camera and scope, things get difficult in the attaching dept.

Lots of looking through the auction sites, and Google hits.

Spot on.

I've used the 'search' function, and there were surprisingly no hits for digiscope/digiscoping.

Does anyone use their K10/GX10 for digiscoping, and if so, what equipment do you use i.e. which scope, what type of adapter, and what results have you been able to obtain.

TIA,

Jim

I have (for donkeys years) used a Canon A1 with various Tamron and Canon lenses. Being a recent convert to DSLR, I am loath to sling any of this kit onto ebay or such, as it'd never bring what it was/is worth to me, especially if I can reuse any of the lenses.

The Tamrons are all Adaptall-2, with a Canon FD adaptor. I have been able to source a seemingly elusive (according to the search funtion here) Adaptall-2 PKA mount, for a very silly low price (not the £60 I saw mentioned in another post!). I have not got the adaptor yet, 7 - 10 days delivery quoted............

The lense I'd really like to use is this one, the 75-250 Tele-Macro-Zoom.

Does anyone have experience with this model on a K10 or GX10 (I have the GX10)? This lense was noted 'in its day' as having above average optical performance, I never had any reason to complain about the results with 35mm film, but I appreciate digital result may be different?

Am I correct in thinking this would be equivalent to a 112 - 375(ish) lense due to the 1.5 conversion factor?

Very possibly the exposure warning, I think yellow area is under exposed, and red area is over exposed....

My GX10 has done the same since I did the firmware upgrade to v1.21 - it can be turned of in settings - unless all my exposures are spot on now, 'cos it doesn't happen now

I just placed an order, and less than 5 minutes later, got a phone call stating they are out of stock.......

At this time, the web site still shows as in stock

I bought 2 off a well known tinternet auction site for £17.00! not each, for the pair! Well worth taking the risk for the price I thought.

7.4V 1750mAh label states PEN. D-Li50 and has same warning label as original, but does not state manufacturer.

Had no problems with them at all, last as long as original, seem to have been a good purchase, as the cheapest I've seen them for the GX10 otherwise is £39.00 (original ones).

Came from Hong Kong, favour_articles was the seller. 99.3% positive feedback, most drips seem to be about delivery - people not reading dispatch is from Hong Kong. I had no problem, came about 5 days after I paid.
