Universal Zoom Mark IV
(right) offers five different steadily increasing
magnifications instead of one magnification:
Example:
The Zeiss Diascope 85 T/
FL with Zeiss Photoadapter (left) does
provide one magnification (right).
Zoom becomes a digiscoping projection optics, also featuring variable magnification.
A full-frame-DSLR will require an added ~40 mm of distance between the camera
T-2-ring and the Mark IV T-2 adapter. This is advisable to retain the flat field of the
Mark IV. For smaller APS-C-cameras, only ~30 mm of distance are recommended. We
propose the use of an optional quick-changer, for instance the TQC/TCR Heavy Duty
T-2 Quick Changing System
# 2456322
. In this way the camera can be aligned to the
horizon easily after zooming (it rotates with the zoom mechanism), or you can remove
the camera body for a quick look into the eyepiece.. We recommend the following
combinations:
For Full Frame Cameras:
• M43/T-2 Adapter
# 2958080
, TQC/TCR Quick Changing System
# 2456322
,
T-2 extension tube 15 mm
# 1508154
, T-2 extension tube 7,5 mm
# 1508155
~
40 mm optical length
• Alternatively:
M43/T-2 Adapter
# 2958080
, extension tube 40 mm
# 1508153
~
41,5 mm optical length
For APS-C:
• M43/T-2 Adapter
# 2958080
, TQC/TCR Quick Changing System
# 2456322
,
T-2 extension tube 15 mm
# 1508154
~
32,5 mm optical length
• Alternatively:
M43/T-2 Adapter
# 2958080
, 2x T-2 extension tube 15 mm
# 1508154
~
31,5 mm optical length
The magnification will increase when inserting additional T-2 extension tubes, but this
will also greatly increase the exposure time.
The setups above enable the Mark IV to work very similar to a dedicated photo-adapter as
offered by many manufacturers of spotting scopes (e.g. the Zeiss-Photoadapter (#528030,
offering but one fixed magnification). However the Mark
IV will provide a wide range of magnification.
