SUMMARY:Leica Sports Optics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Leica Sport Optics Seminar\nNo optical product is ideally suited for every birding and nature observation scenario\, and selecting the product best suited to meet your personal needs can be a daunting and overwhelming task. Join Jeff Bouton\, from Leica Sport Optics for an easily understandable presentation on selecting optics for nature observation. As a lifelong professional birder (using & abusing optics daily) and an optics industry insider\, Jeff has a unique understanding of technical specifications and optical characteristics coupled with a first hand understanding of why these are (or are not) important for every day use. His concise\, informative overview will touch on optical specifications\, nomenclature\, product design\, as well as field craft to include popular digiscoping techniques.\n\nThe digiscoping segment will be a review coupling your phone\, point & shoot camera\, or system camera behind a spotting scope to achieve super-telephoto focal lengths in excess of a 3\,000 mm lens! Come see what all of the buzz is about with digiscoping\, binoculars & more!\n\n\nAbout Jeff Bouton:\nJeff Bouton began his birding career as a young teen\, working daily as a seasonal field research biologist for numerous government agencies and non-for-profits all across the United States. This eventually led him to a career as a professional tour guide throughout Alaska.
