I know Pentax sells a narrow L-adapter, but I'm not sure it will attach to the Paragon Plus arm. The L-adapter than comes with the Paragon Plus works well with my 8x42s, but it is rather wide and I thought I read somewhere that the PCF 20x60 requires a narrow adapter.

If not, it should work with a standard L bracket. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 15 registered and 26 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
