However - the ep needed to be half way up the focuser to reach focus (i'm guessing thats why the previous owner has tape half way up). Is this normal for these ep's? could someone have moved the internal elements around so it is like this thankyou daniel -------------------- regal 10x42, 10x50ultras, 15x70 ultras, 20x80 Oly e-500, vixen 100/1000 with 0.965"/1.25", 2 old sturdy tripods for the bins (slik & velbon) zeiss f5.6 refractor/lens (under construction) Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Unitron 40mm daniel_h 06/29/09 01:35 AM Re: Unitron 40mm daniel_h   07/02/09 07:10 AM Re: Unitron 40mm rfic1   07/02/09 08:46 AM Extra information 10 registered and 15 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
