Videoscoping with a Nikon J1 mirrorless SLR and Zeiss Diascope 85 tFL:
 
 
Tennis ball at 300 yards,
deer at just under 300 yards
 
Lost a lot of resolution during compression, but still looks OK.

Great shot on the tennis ball!
If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

How are you liking the 85T, is it the new model with 20x75 eyepiece? Black body?

 

Thanks,Jon

Thanks,Jon

It is the newest model with the super-zoom.  It has its strengths and weaknesses.  More strengths than weaknesses though.
 
It is VERY bright in low light.

Please humor me, I am thinking about buying one.

What have you compared it to?

Strengths ?
Weakness?

Thanks in advance.
