Re: [ATM] Eyepiece

[GF <gary@rcn.com>]

Saqib,

I have a 10X 100 year old ep that works nicely if you can't get 
something newer. The barrel is a bit smaller than 1.25" - a plastic 35mm 
film can adapted it. The 10X is about the same magnification as my 26mm. 
The ep is uncoated, and soft at the edges, but better than nothing, and 
very contrasty and sharp in the center. Try to get a good quality one - 
German or Japanese? Maybe Russian is good too?
