I am compiling a work on eyepieces. I already have a lot of photos contributed by various folks. Below is a list of photos I am still looking for. If anyone has photos of any eyepieces from the following lines (and you are the copyright holder of the photo - i.e., you took the picture), and you would be willing to let me use it in a work I will be publishing, please PM me and will give you the details.
The photos need to be high resolution, usually means around 1MB or larger JPEG or TIFF file. So not a website quality photo which is usually less than 200k.

I need a single photo with as many focal lengths of each eyepiece line. So in your case would be 2 photos, one of all the Paradigms together, the other of all the KK Orthos together.
Photos should be as high resolution as your camera is capable of. Eyepieces should be on a light surface with a light background, otherwise when they are printed the eyepiece might blend into a dark background or not look so good. Also of course well lit as possible.
Send me a PM and I will give you my personal email address and more information on my project. Will need these by end of next week at latest. Earlier better since I will need to format them and credit them properly. Crediting is as follows so will need this info from you when you email them:
First Name, Last Name or Last Initial, City (optional), State, Country.
Thx!
Dave & Rguasto - Sent you PMs.

OK, I have a 10 mega pixel Olympus DSLR and one of those "portable studio" boxes that evens out the light and has different backgrounds. I will take the photographs of the Paradigms and KK orthos.

Bill, I can get you 8mm and 17mm Orion Lanthanum Superwides.
Also, Bill, do you need one of the 50mm Parks (2") Plossl (sometimes advertised as Gold Series, but not - it's from the same maker as the maker for the Optiluxes)?
Regards,
Jim

Here are a couple of binoviewing pairs I collected and never use. One day I will compare these, they appear very similar in size. I remember UO sold these at the same time.
I have a couple of Parks Golds somewhere, and a friend has a near complete set of KK Kellners, and another has the KK Widescans.

Emailed pictures of the following:
Meade 4000 QX 30mm
Celestron E-Lux 40mm
I even sent a bonus picture, 2 different brands of 40mm Plossi.
The Celestron E-Lux is identical to the Orion Sirius except for the step in the barrel.

Mariner@sg - sent you PM to send the KK pics
Ray - sent you PM to send the Super Erfle pic
Paul - Thanks you!
Ernest - This are some good pics. Unfortunately I would need the person who took them to send them to me in higher resolution and send the release terms as well, otherwise the publisher will not include them in the book due to copyright issues. So I can't take pics directly from the web due to that 
BTW, does anyone have a pic of the Dioptrix? Would love a picture of that alone, then of same eyepiece with and without it mounted.
