Kowa and Canon (1 Viewer)

[Jonathan Williams]

Hi all,
I have the new big kowa scope (can't remember the number i'm afraid) with a zoom eyepiece and a 30x wide also, and a Canon A590IS digital camera. Does anyone know if you can get a good adaptor to marry these two up??

Any suggestions greatfully received.

Thanks

Jonathan

If you have Kowa 880 or 770 series scope you should buy Kowa TSN-DA1, if it is older 821 or 823 scope you need Kowa TSN-DA10. You can also take Kowa TSN-DA4 universal adapter, but then you will need either DA1 or DA10 as well. To match your camera to DA1 or Da10 (when not using DA4) you should also buy a Canon LA-DC52G adapter and Kowa 58mm adapter ring to screw the camera to the Kowa's adapter. You should also check out on Kowa webpage if your eyepiece does require a special extension on the eyepiece side.

Shouldn't it be a Kowa 52mm adapter ring since the filter size of the
Canon LA-DC52G adapter is 52mm?

Sorry for my mistake, you're obviously right. It should be a 52mm ring.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Could I please ask you to imagine you're talking to a digiscoping idiot, which you are, and tell me where you can get hold of all of the above.

Many thanks for all the help,

Jonathan

Ace optics Bath should be able to help in the UK.

I bought mine here:

I've never been looking for any shop in the UK, they have pretty high shipping costs to wild countries on the russian border ;-)

Shouldn't this be the other way round?

You're right. Sorry for misinformation.
