Introducing...
DSLR-Scoping
- the combination of a digital SLR camera body
with the precision optics of a true telescope.

Hutech and Borg* would like to introduce you to the combination of two rapidly advancing technologies applied to the field of bird photography. This marries the optics of the advanced astronomical refracting telescope, optimized for high resolution of distant objects, to the increasingly high-resolution digital imaging sensor of the modern digital SLR camera.

Why use a telescope instead of a telephoto lens?

• Brighter and more contrasty images compared with telephoto lenses
  at same F-number due to the use of fewer optical elements.
  

• High resolving power of lenses built to the standards required
  for astronomical photography.
  
  
• Adaptable to many different brands of camera bodies (virtually all
  DSLR's currently available).
  
  
• Short minimum focusing distance accommodated with extension tubes
  for macrophotography.
  
  
• Lighter weight than equivalent telephoto lenses.
  
  
• Relatively lower cost than equivalent telephoto lenses.
  
  
• Reconfigurable for visual use.
  
  
• Can be disassembled for convenient travel packing.

While telescopic lenses do not offer the auto-focusing or aperture control convenience of a telephoto lens matched to the proper camera body, the live-view capability of modern DSLR's makes precise focusing easy. Auto-exposure continues to be functional via the camera's aperture-priority mode.
