Sony T mount focus confirm (1 Viewer)

This may have been asked before but I've searched the forum and can't find anything. So....I remember seeing Canon focus confirm T mounts on fleabay but I just had a look and can't see any. I have a Sony Alpha 200 mounted on my celestron 80ed and just for convenience (and my appalling eyesight ) I would like the accuracy of focus confirmation. Anybody got any experience or options that I might try? Cheers John

There are plenty on fleabay but you will notice that you need to make a number of decisions re the actual type you need.
Dyxum has this thread http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/topic29573.html and they tend to use an adaptor custom programmed for your lens. You might prefer to go down that route.

Only one of the links below on the auction site has that offer to programme your lens.

I have not gone down this route but have been very tempted so I can't vouch for any of these products.

Let me know how you get on
