I noticed two things, first as stated above the eye relief was shortened and the FOV was smaller. The 14mm FTR wasn't too bad, IMO it made the eye relief better and the FOV only slightly smaller. The 28mm FTR made the 17mm into a straw. The eye relief wasn't too bad but the FOV suffered. I never tried combining the 14mm & 28mm FTR on the same EP. IMO, the Fine Tuning Rings are not really worth it. Maybe initially if you only buy 1 or 2 EP's they may fill a gap. But as time goes and you purchase more EP's the FTR will end in a box unused. -------------------- Karl Zhumell 20x80 Binos Zhumell 10" Dob WO 28mm UWAN TV 13mm Ethos TV 8mm Ethos Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Trying to "modify" baader hyperions, help!
