Hi - or "How do you do"!
I'm Bernard Briscoe residing in Black-chinned & Ruby-throated Hummingbird territory. In the wonderful Hill Counrty of Texas - noted for birding & birders!
Brought up in the Lake District of Cumbria in the days of lots of Chaffinch, Blackbirds, Song Thrush, Yelllowhammers, Walter (sic) Wagtails etc etc. to say nothing of Sea birds off the Cumbrian coast.

Q. To Digiscope, I am seeking to link up my Zeiss Diascope 85mm w 20-60 x Zoom Vario Eyepiece to a Pentax K10D with 40mm Lense using:
(a). a 49mm - 58 mm Step-up ring
(b). a Spidertech adapter.
[On the kind advice of Ben Lizdas of eagle Optics].

I have tried to contact Spidertech in Finland by e-mail - no response
I have tried to contact their retail agent in Holland by e-mail - no response
I would try their Spanish & French connections - but language barriers intervene.

Q. Does anyone know where a Spidertech adapter as above can be obtained?
Has anyone else drawn a blank in their efforts to contact the Spiderman?


Thanx for any help you can muster

Bernard
