Soliopr makes or trades rather cheep spotting scopes and adaptors etc. for various digital cameras. One of the great thing about digital cameras is, that they can focus very close. So some of them can be attatched directly to a spotting scope. Then you can photograph at 40 times enlargemnet (equivalent to 4000 mm lense for 35mm mm film i believe). Look at: http://www.soligor.com/
You buy the scope and thee eyepiece seperately. You pay maybe 1.000 $ for eyepice and scope.
