Anyone try the F-Adapter? (1 Viewer)

I have recently purchased the large F Adapter for use with my Opticron DSL 16-48X eyepiece and Canon A95. Early days but promising results so far. The adapter appears to be good value for money.
 
I tried one with a Nikon 4300 and an old Mirador scope and it works well enough for the money. Setting the screws up is a little fiddly but it's fairly well engineered.
 
I bought the adapter because it had a 52mm thread making it ideal to connect to my Fuji S20pro but sadly the camera is no good for digiscope the sensor goes bonkers on it.
So I bought a secondhand nikon 995 and used a 52/28mm adapter ring.
Like Richard states its good value for money the only downside is the thumb screws are fiddly but once its connected up and aligned you dont have to touch it again.
Would recomend either putting a blob of paint or scratch one of thumb screws saves realigning just use the screw uve marked when connecting and unconnecting from the scope.
 
OK for use with ATS zoom?

As I'm about to get a CP 995 to use on a swaro ats zoom does anyone know if it will slip over the rubber eyecup without having to remove the eyecup first?

You'll need a stepping ring for your Canon (for my Nikon it's a 52mm (adaptor)-28mm(camera thread) ring).

This is where I reply to my own question.

It won't work as only goes to 55mm dia. ats zoom needs 58mm approx.

Anyone try that MaxView S? Looks good but its a bit pricy, wouldn't be to bad but they want 60 bucks for a little plastic hoop for your camera...
