    Digiscope adapter for ED82a with 25 - 75x zoom

    Hi all, Just wondering, does anyone take record shots with their phone attached to the 25-75x zoom on the scope? My only eyepiece is the zoom, I do a fair amount of sea-watching and often utilise a lot of if not full zoom, and I do like the zoom option wherever I find myself, so getting a DS...

    Life after the ED82…

    Hi everyone, I bought a secondhand ED82a with zoom eyepiece approximately 5 years ago for £400 + £300 trade in for my old scope. Given the 82a was discontinued quite a few years ago it’s fair to say it’s reasonably old. However, it has and still does perform superbly. I’ve compared it in the...

    Drake Smew song...

    Like most birders I'm sure I often do a little research on distribution, call, status etc of various birds when they pop up. A desirable winter bird is the Smew and having only observed them on reservoirs at this time of year I wondered how their courtship songs and calls sounded, and according...

    P.G.Wodehouse on birding, and general question about birding history in the UK

    I can't answer those questions but I too love the work of Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse and if I were cast away on a desert island with the option of taking only one book I would be choosing from Ray Mears How to Survive on a Desert Island, The Guide to all Birds of Desert Islands or The World...

    Portable Moth traps...

    Hello peeps, As with a lot of us, it wasn't just birds that interested me as a budding young naturalist, and as I approach 50 nothing much has changed. I've been out on occasional wildlife trust and local moth group mothing nights and would now like to start myself. I live in a very small...

    25-56x mc zoom vs 25-75x mc zoom

    Thanks everyone for your informative and interesting contributions, much appreciated. My next dilemma or contemplation is when\whether to add the ed50a scope to my optics selection. As stated above I use the ed82a but in conducting a lot of my birding by bicycle and on foot I often leave it at...

    25-56x mc zoom vs 25-75x mc zoom

    Hi Scott, That really helps thank you. I think really I've known all along that a WF EP is my best option with regards to overall benefit\improvement to my enjoyment of being out in the field. I can and do spend hours observing a given area, sea watching, wetlands, heath land or where ever...

    25-56x mc zoom vs 25-75x mc zoom

    Hi everyone, I have an ed82a with 25-75x zoom which I thoroughly enjoy using (apart from cycling or walking long distances with it on my back). I'm just curious has anyone used and compared these two zoom options? I'm wondering would I benefit from acquiring the 25-56x? I don't go to max zoom...
