Hi Andrew
My wife has a Leica spotting ‘scope and we tried afocal bird photography through the eyepiece and had some minor success, but it was difficult and unrewarding. Like the Geoma, the Leica eyepieces have lens elements inside a barrel that protrudes into the ‘scope body. I suspect that these ‘scopes are an F5 to F7 design and to allow for their close focusing, typically 3 metres, part of the eyepiece body has to protrude into the ‘scope body.
We also have the Leica photo adapter that converts the ‘scope to an 800mm F10.4 telephoto lens but this adapter is approx 6 inches long (150mm), placing the DSLR quite some way from where the eyepiece position normally is.
I think it is a tough ask unless Vixen have some accessory made for the job?
Cheers
Dennis
