If I'm not mistaken the endoscopic part would be small and connected to the camera's mount by means of fiber optics. The image is normally round (which is why the 110 format is square). I'm guessing that if you put a normal 35mm lens on it, it would more than cover the image format, so would no longer be round. The similarly used 35mm equiv. cameras were the MF (35mm half frame) and MF-1 (35mm full frame). I don't believe that any of these cameras has a ground glass, so not sure how that would work for "viewfinder" purposes.
The PS-PEII appears to have a connector for a monitor hook-up. I'm assuming this gave a constant image to the endoscope "guider" and a still image could be captured at the operator's discretion. I still think this camera may have had more than one purpose: endoscopy and photomicroscopy, but I can't prove it. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
