A handy accessory

We can get much closer for photo than with the 80-400mm camera lens. However, we loose the vibration reduction feature of the lens, so we have had to use a remote shutter release to limit movement.

I would buy this product again

Could be smaller f-number, as I use this adapter in conjunction with fieldscope 82 ed and d200 and i find image in viewfinder a bit too dark. Need some practice to get sharp photos.

• Attaches directly to the Fieldscope and the F mount on a Nikon Digital SLR Camera

Using the FSA-L1 with Film SLR cameras
> Usable models: F6, F5, F100, FM10, FE10, F65, F55
With N80, FM3A, N75, user must determine the exposure; Nikon does not recommend using these models. With any of the above models, slight vignetting may occur at the periphery of the image

Note:
• Because the optical system has different characteristics from ordinary interchangeable lenses, when the FSA-L1 and Fieldscope are used for shooting with a SLR camera, exposure may vary with the camera model. With a digital SLR camera, confirm the exposure indication in the external LCD and use exposure compensation if necessary.
• Camera's autofocusing mode cannot be used. Perform focusing using the Fieldscope focusing ring.
• We strongly recommend using an ED-type model, which employs ED glass to minimise chromatic aberration and keep images sharp.
