[Re: Chris Graham]       #349821 - 02/19/05 10:57 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Great idea, I was trying to come up with something similar. Only thing, is that a tight fit on the camera lens? Mine (A95) moves in and out when you zoom or switch modes or turn it off. I'd be really afraid to "lock" it into that! Any danger of that?

I wouldn't want to be around me if that happened. Post Extras:       ForgottenMObject Post Laureate Reged: 09/11/04 Posts: 3660 Loc: Maryland, US Re: Attach the Canon Powershot to the scope for 78p !
