Check the filter dia in the specs area...believe it's actually 95mm (not 96mm as Amazon has it listed on 9/26/11).

I have the TSN-884 (straight) hooked up to a Panasonic GH2 via the TSN-VA3. If you use the TSN-DA3stmount you really dont need the adapter rings unless you just want a tighter fit locked in. The verticalalignment of the DA3st is just high enough for the GH2. I removed the small vertical stop plate to allowa tad more height. The regular DA3 has a longer vertical bar or the angled bracket (DA3-88A) may be an option too.I have tried a Voigtlander 25mm, 14-140mm and a the 100-300mm. The 100-300mm could only extend to 200mm.I am also waiting for the 20-60x eye piece that I ordered. Maybe there is more room with that setup vs the VA3.Also, with the ETC mode on the GH2 you can film HD video with no vignetting.The 100-300mm (at 200mm) gave easily ~250 yards range for a small bird.The VA3 is only 14x so the range with the 20-60x is probably ridiculous lol.

I have a Kowa and it's an excellent scope. But the scope pictured here(12/15/07) when I did a search for Kowa TSN-884, is NOT the 884.Looks like my TSN-824,
