Originally posted by vonBaloney So just received my Q, waiting on the K adapter and wondering whether to get a red dot sight. If I understand correctly, there is parallax, right, so the sight can only be really calibrated for a specific distance, or if we are only talking far off stuff does it not really matter? (I'm thinking like tracking bird in flight.)
Hi Von, if you calibrate at the distance you expect to be shooting most you will not be too far off from center one way or the other if you find a target closer or further away.
With the Q the main use is to help acquire a target since the resulting field of view through a long lens is really small and it is hard to find an object without help. If you are not dead center at least the target is in view in the LCD and you can adjust your composition.
The farther away the object is the difference will be less.
