Re: [APML] AP 130/F6 LPR filter help

[Matt BenDaniel <matt@exceloncorp.com>]

Gerry,

Hutech will be introducing an adapter ($?) this year which allows their 72mm LPS filter 
($309) to be used with the 2.7" A-P barrel. See:
http://www.hutech.com.

You will find it easy to use a guide scope after using an OAG.

You might want to consider using a Pentax 67. You can pick up a good used body on ebay 
for $500. The difference is huge. The only sticking point is the scanner. See Seagull,
