telescope from telephoto

A few weeks ago, there was a discussion about the perfect travelscope.
This weekend I wrote an article about how to convert a camera lens into
a spotting scope or telescope.

As a telescope, I agree with Jay that the mount becomes the bigger
issue: it's very hard to point with a camera tripod.
But if you're going on an African safari, you may choose a camera lens
over a telescope, in which case, it may be a nice compromise.
