Sadly, these reverse adapters are rare as hen's teeth. T2-reverse *does* exist, but sadly^2 not for EOS or other modern AF mounts (MAF), only for older manual mounts....the latter are made (only) by Danubia AFAIK. Also: at one point in time, they were also listed for EOS/MAF, but despite all my research, I have never been able to confirm their existence....Danubia flatly denies any production for EOS/MAF....8-)) That, plus the fact that you need full power+data to the lens, is the reason why I still think the concept of Novoflex reversal-ring plus auxiliary&out-of-the-way camera is the easiest....the eyepiece itself will have to be custom made in any case anyway. Heck, it would even allow stopping down to increase DOF....:)) > Mead makes a camera adapter (for their range of 1 1/4" > telescopes) which can be used in reverse as an eyepiece > holder for T-mount lenses.

Motorized/computer-compensated telescopes are getting cheap enough to add one to the gear park, just for playing in the dark....;)) But, they still don't have IS, so it's and/and, not or/or....:)) -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
