    UK lenses for PF65-ED?

    Henry Thanks for the info; I suspect that the eyerelief factor would pretty much rule them out for a spectacle wearer such as myself at decent magnification levels. You learn so much here! Hopefully my new zoom will arrive tomorrow so we'll see how that performs.. John
