    Swaro atx 95 vs 115

    I tried both at a local shop in contra-light conditions and I struggled to see any differences as well and wondered if the zoom eyeiece was the limiting factor. I have not had a chance to try both with a high quality fixed eyepiece. I see in the Digiscoping web sites, some of the best...

    Favorite Non-native Lenses

    For wildlife, the Sigma Contemporary 150-600mm (my favorite) and the Tamron G2 150-600mm are my favorites and I view these as superior choices to some of the Nikon/Canon glass. A well respected pro photographer that I had to the pleasure of meeting awhile back uses the Sigma for most of his...

    NL pure vs EL 10x42

    Budget Wildlife photography set up

    The consensus budget/beginner wildlife setup on many of the photography forums and review sites has been (for a long time) a Nikon D500 paired with a Nikon 200-500mm lens. Used, this system will be in the $1500-$2000 range which I know is above what you said, but I wanted to suggest this if you...
