Re: I have a Nikon D-70 and a Swarovski spotting scope...
Sounds like the lens you're trying to use is very slow compared to a regular camera lens. You may have to increase the ISO or raise the exposure compensation setting to get lighter pics.

Vivitar made several different 70-150mm lenses. If the lens has a T-mount then you can purchase a Nikon T-mount adapter and replace the Canon one on the lens. If the lens does not have a T-mount then you're out of luck. Nikon cameras have thicker bodies than Canon cameras, and an adapter would have to have negative physical size.
Sorry but your out of luck with that combination. Nikon only made SLR adapters for their Fieldscope line of spotters, none for the Sky and Earth series. The camera adapters are very proprietary so you won't be able to use another manufacturer's SLR adapter to solve this one. Best Regards, Ben Lizdas Sales Manger Eagle Optics www.eagleoptics.com
hi there, your Nikon certainly will work with this telescope, but `you`ll need a T-ring adapter that adapt the lens mount on the camera body with the viewfinder on the telescope
Hi David,
Unfortunately, there isn't a good solution for adapting the Denali spotting scope to an SLR camera body. Your best option for tele-photography through that scope would be using a small, point-and-shoot type camera.
If you want more details, don't hesitate to contact me at Eagle Optics. I'd be happy to walk you through the process.
I think you will very unhappy if you mount it on the carry handle.
I suggest removing it and getting a Nikon M-223 mount, YOu might also want
to check out the M-223 line of scopes. The 3-12x42 with Rapid Action Turret might
really surprise you. I don't have one freind who hasn't tried mine out and not bought one.
Hard to argue with that. Check out Nikonhunting.com

iv had this problem many times before,,,its more likley to be a bad set of mounts not inline with the barrel,,, if you have ran out of windage adjustment,, to get over it i use a strip of 35mm film inside the scope mount to push the scope over a bit,,, but a new set of mounts would be the best way forwards
lifetime warranty on that scope...i say take it back, get another and try again. if you are doing everything right, then i would say it is a internal problem with the scope. nikon's are a really good scope, but rule everything out.
