    Chicago to Whitefish point & back

    We did not visit anything but the lighthouse piers, beach areas, drove by and looked at a few off the road places nothing. Whitefish point - NOTHING. National forests...nothing. However...our luck paid off...one night at whitefish point we got to assist in the capture and release of a juvenile...

    Chicago to Whitefish point & back

    Book arrived yesterday. I am also getting the garmin topo maps for my handheld and car gps that have a lot of the "off the road/beaten path" birding areas. Hopefully, the weather will hold out. Presently, the weather channel has it raining almost every day next week, from traverse city all the...

    Chicago to Whitefish point & back

    We are leaving on a trip in 2 weeks. We will be driving up the coast of lake michigan, passing through south haven, traverse city, mackinaw city, and finally to Whitefish point. Any hotspots to look for? I understand the migration is starting around that time. Any state parks along the way...

    Kowa 883 digiscoping eyepieces

    Yes, I had the EXACT same problem. I called the merchandiser back and they said the 25xLER is meant for target practice only. She indicated I should use either the 20-60x on 20x, or get the 30x fixed. Source was opticsplanet.com

    kowa883+(lumix g1, lumix lx3, or nikon p6000)

    Ordered and on the way. I was comparing the specs side by side with the Canon SD890IS that I had, and this looks like a much better camera for the same price I paid. Well, now I have an extra P&S to carry anywhere.

    kowa883+(lumix g1, lumix lx3, or nikon p6000)

    Rick, thanks again. Glad to see you are happy with your purchases. Last I checked last night, the camera was listed as "discontinued" on a few sites. I usually purchase my stuff from Adorama (not this last time) but when I checked the only item available was one in silver, instead of black, and...

    kowa883+(lumix g1, lumix lx3, or nikon p6000)

    Ridiculously expensive is right Yes I agree. I didn't do enough research ahead of time and was led to believe by the retailer the da10/da4 was worth the cost, and that it was really the only way to go. Coupled with trying to use the very scope unfriendly Canon sd890is, I am in the predicament...

    kowa883+(lumix g1, lumix lx3, or nikon p6000)

    Timedrifter, Maybe it was that the g1 does not easilly adapt to the kowa883? Since there are quite a few posts on here I don't recall, but I did read at least one that somebody posted. Thats why I'm trying to get a clear consensus as to which camera setup is the best, and what other adapters...

    Sorry, I meant to say lumix fx150 instead of the lx3.

    kowa883+(lumix g1, lumix lx3, or nikon p6000)

    If price were no issue, which one of the 3 cameras above is the best at digiscoping with the 883+da10+da4 adapters? If they will not work with the adapter specified, please advise on what is needed. I have followed various threads on here and was set to get the lumix lx3, but found it to be...

    Panasonic LUMIX FX150 on Kowa 883

    Canons SD890IS Thanks for all the info guys. We took stationary pics at approximately 50-75 meters and they came out fine. We had a grouping of cormorants that we were very pleased with. We don't wear glasses. With this setup, we focus first using the scope only and then close the combo with...

    Panasonic LUMIX FX150 on Kowa 883

    Motion pictures - wind Canon SD890IS vs Lumix FX150 Rick, Here is the problem we are having. And maybe its the camera we have again, or maybe using the wrong eyepiece. We have the 20-60x, and the 25LER fixed kowa. We do not have the 30WA. I will not name the retailer who sold us the thousands...

    Panasonic LUMIX FX150 on Kowa 883

    Same set up I have the KOWA883, the 20x-60x, and the 25LER. Currently using da4/d10 setup I believe and a canon sd890is set up. Anything moving is a complete blur, but you seem to have a few good ones. Will this work with the 30x WA? Any major problems you have yet? How long to get used to...
