The economical way.

Zoom

I’ll have to try that. Only I’ll put the lens in the eyehole…not the viewfinder like this doofus. (But at least he thought of it.)

Anonymous said...: What would be nice is if you could find a camera and binocular setup that the lens and the viewfinder would each line up with one of the eyeholes. What you see is what you get.; 4:24 PM, April 04, 2007

We were at a tall ships festival and after a few blurry tries, we got a very interesting photo through the binocs. Give it a shot.; 7:54 PM, April 04, 2007

If you can't afford that (most people can't), get a compact camera with a long telephoto lens (Panasonic Lumix FZ50, Olympus SP-550 UZ, ...).
And if you must use binoculars, most digital cameras display the image that comes through the lens on the screen (the optical viewfinder image and the real image are never 1:1 anyway, so the closest to "WYSIWYG" is what is on the screen).; 11:06 PM, April 07, 2007
