Wow, thanks for the info Pete-tarmigan. I have been researching a little on the forums here. There does seem to be a preference to PF-CA35. But I have seen some extendable hollow t mounts that may help with the sensor to scope focus spacing. We lost our local camera shop last year to retirement and its been very difficult to actually get my hands on lens adapter's to see first hand. As well he was a great resource for the very things your discussing. I am not sure by what you mean when you say its too "soft". Are you talking focus or sharpness.
Is there any chance you could post a picture of a bird you have shot with the PF-ca35. I checked the Ricoh website it does say that the PF-65edII is compatible with the adapter.
cheers

Hello all my fellow Pentaxians,
I haven't posted before, but I've been following the forums for about a year.
I have finally decided that I cannot rely on holding my camera up to the eyepiece of my Pentax 65edII inline spotting scope and expect decent pictures. Heck half the time I don't get a picture at all because I am either rushing the shot or getting frustrated and merely zooming out then zooming in on the picture. I am an amateur rookie in the photo department. camera kit is K50 with the 18-135 / 18-55 / 55-300mm lens.
So I guess my real question is does anyone have a review or comparison between the Pentax PF-CA35 vs anyone of the T adapter's out there. Is there any advantages to the CA35? I will be using the digi-scoping both in the daylight while hiking/hunting as well as the great northern lights/celestial show's we get in the Yukon.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
