Can't find the original photography thread so thought I would start another.
Apart from a Bluetooth shutter release zapper (hurry up Santa) I now have all the gear for Digi scoping using my phone. The quality of photos using my Samsung S6 are very good. The attachment for the telescope is made by Viking and I got mine from an RSPB shop.

Just noticed that you are waiting for the Bluetooth shutter release.....I have Wifi on my camera and had no idea how that could be used, until my son grabbed my new Samsung tablet...moved away 30 feet and started taking pictures with my camera.
I could set the camera up somewhere in the garden, sit indoors looking at tablet screen and taking pictures. I wouldn't as half the fun is sitting under a net and waiting as I did yesterday with Long tailed tits who have taken a liking to my home made fat ball.

Has anyone had any dealings with a company called e-infin.com really competitively priced camera equipment. Reviews look ok but can't find a UK address or e-mail, yet they say they have a UK base? I've checked companies house but nothing there. By using them I could save over £400, but do I risk it. I guess all their stuff is Hong Kong imports

They are a Hong Kong company that would like you to think that they are UK based. They do get good reviews but you will have to pay import duty, VAT and clearance fees when your goods arrive. With that in mind you should check and compare prices carefully.

BM have looked at a company called HDEW Cameras and look ok, have e-mailed them this afternoon about a clause in their T&C's and got a response in a couple of hours. I will order this evening the lens and 1.4 mk3 extender with a saving of £445. So happy to go ahead. I will then sell a couple of my redundant lenses on E Bay.
