This topic comes up from time to time so I thought I'd share this info
with all y'all... I just received a couple of adapters that turn screw
mount lenses into spotting scopes. You can't change the eye piece, I'm
guessing that it's a 10mm. That means that you'd divide the focal length
of the lens by 10mm and you'll get the magnification. The adapter is all
metal and the optics appear to be fully coated (if not multicoated). The
views I'm getting with them are sharp sharp sharp! The best views come
when the lens is stopped down a little, but I'll try it lower light
later on tonight. Surplus shed
(http://www.surplusshed.com/list.cfm?Category=Telescopes)has them for
$12! Now I have an excuse for looking at cheap screw mount lenses of
varying focal length...Isaac - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions. Don't forget to visit the Pentax Users' Gallery at http://pug.komkon.org .
