Hi Joerg
Mr. Cheang's UDA adapter cost $215.00 US and that price includes air
shipment do your door. I have used this adapter a number of times with both
my CP 5000 and 4500 with my Swarovski scope. The cost also includes a custom
made mechanical shutter release for the CoolPix series.
If this is of interest you should contact him and tell him what camera
and scope combination you intend to use. His e-mail address is:
"Cheang Kum Seng"[email protected]
I have no financial or commercial interest with Cheang, but am a
satisfied customer.
