Subject: R8 & Spotting Scope

Dear Fellow LUGnuts,

As a new R8 user, I also have a great appreciation of optics.  One of the
optical instruments I get a lot of enjoyment out of is viewing wildlife
through the Leica Spotting Scope.  I use the 20mm wide angle eye piece and
I can almost look down the throats of all the Canadian geese in my back
yard.  

Has anyone used an R Leica with the photo adapter and the Leica Spotting
Scopes?  Don't quote me but I think the scope has the effect of about a
?500mm f10 lens.   Since I already have the spotting scope and the R
camera, it would be nice to use them as a team.  

I think Ted must have sent those Canadian geese down to Pennsylvania for
the Summer.
