Hi All,

I was truly inspired by the photographs shown at last evening's WOS meeting.

I have a Leica scope with a 45 degree eyepiece and I am wondering about using it for photography. There is a Leica adapter that can be bought for my camera. Do you get a full view picture using the 45 degree scope? Also is it relatively easy to use?

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Secondly, what kind of film is best to use? Speed? Slide vs. Photographic?
Thanks much,
