Adapters for canon powershot A95 (1 Viewer)

[waring]

Hi, another question on the Canon Powershot A(5: I read on another digiscoping site that this is a great camera for digiscoping, and that the "external zoom problem is easily solvable with the relevant adapters."
Can anyone explain what the "external zoom problem" is and what the "relevant adapters" are? Thank you.

Check out this thread for a very good adaptor

Ive not had any problems using the camera with this adaptor and just winding up the eyecup on my scope.

The A95's zoom moves out then in then back out again on its way from zero to full zoom.

There are plenty of adaptors which will cope with this - like the one Steve mentions - or the "tube" adaptors which seem most popular, like those sold by www.scopetronix.com.

You would attach once of these to the camera by first attaching to the camera a Canon LADC52D convertor or 3rd party equivalent, which screws onto the tube adaptor. The tube adaptor then mounts onto the scope EP and you're sorted.

This is the Canon convertor - it bayonet-fits onto the front of the camera around the lens barrel.
