Hi. I have a GS665ED Scope, and purchased an SDL Zoom with it. However when fitting the eye-piece to the scope body an adapter collar is required, which is supplied with the scope. However I have noticed that the SDL Zoom is very poor indeed on this scope Body - virtually useless on what I estimate to be above 25x, and only satisfactory at the lower 16x. If I remove the collar and attach the eye-piece directly to the body it is better, but it only screws on by 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn which clearly isnt really secure.
I took it to my local Optics dealer who had a rye smile and informed me that Opticron are bringing out a new model of the GS665ED, but which will only be useable with the SDL exclusivley. His view is that he will not stock it as it is too inflexible been dedicated to one eyepiece only. I have tried my GS665ED with an HDF Zoom which is far superior in terms of image quality, which shocked me as it is £60 to the lesser. I have so far spoke to only a few other people who have had this issue but wondered whether there is anyone else out there who has had a similar experience?
