Looking for Info on this Zoom?
      #3389177 - 10/14/09 01:32 PM

Hi all,

I am not familiar with this old zoom. It looks as if it may be a Circle K 22.5mm - 7.5mm? I tried it with my Tasco Cosmic, a 50mm f/12, classic and it performed pretty well. I am waiting for a clear night to use it in my Meade 300.







Can anyone offer any information on this eyepiece? Was it common, is it common now? Thanks for looking!

peace & clear skies,
