There's a F-Adapter for sale on EBay. Says it allows a telescope to be connected to a G6.

but then you would have to buy a telescope! I have no idea how much they cost.... : (

I think the CrystalVue 8x32 _is_ a field scope

I don't see any G series cameras listed under the compatibility section.

If you look HERE, you will see that the version suggested for use with the G series is the more expensive 'LX' version. That one has a 42 mm thread, the 'sharp shooter' has a 37 mm thread that might lead to vignetting on the G series. (Haven't tried either)

on ebay they are even 189...

i wish someone had some real life shots of it befor i buy it

There's an auction for the 'sharpshooter' version that's currently at $ 44 and ending in 7 hours (ending May-12-06 11:00:19 PDT) ... http://cgi.ebay.com …ZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcm​dZViewItem

If the price stays low, it might be quite interesting to check it out and see if you get vignetting.

LOL - not a sarcastic laugh ok?

Lens Plus sales rubber mounting rings just for this purpose. You can find them sold on the B&H photovideo web site. You could pick up a spotting scope and using that for your bird shots however for what your going to pay for a good spotting scope you could just go out and buy a Canon DSLR and a 400mm f/5.6.

Ps. You'll still have the problem of having to zoom your G6 to full optical zoom when using the spotting scope.

just food for thought.
