Hi there,
I use a Canon XL1s and I'd like to know if there are any possibilities to put a scope in front of the lens even on the "large" ones.
I also shoot using a Nikon D70,may I ask the same question as above ?
thx in advance
matt
P.S. I live far ( Italia ) but since I heard about this unusual website I put it in my daily list.
Even when there's not something useful,there's something funny .
