[QUOTE="Binastro, post: 3545291, member: 111403"] Just received the Nikon TC E2s. Mint minus as described £15 each plus postage. 1 1/2 hour power cut restored, so I can see now indoors. Our emergency lighting did not work, battery probably. Should be checked every 3 months. Unfortunately, being longsighted with little accommodation I cannot use these as is. However, the Minolta Vn eyepiece correctors, of which I seem to have many, fit perfectly into the rear 'eyepiece' recess. The glass of the corrector is 8mm x 12mm. Even so the field is less than with no corrector. With reading glasses they work perfectly, but the field is further reduced. One needs young or neutral eyes or both. Coatings good and seem to be the same on both Nikon afocal units, but Minolta eyepiece correctors uncoated. My glasses are multicoated plastic. I also have somewhere a Minolta dealers eyepiece corrector full unit. This is a slide with 9 correctors that is used to find the customers required dioptre. Very neat, and was quite low cost as an oddity. [/QUOTE]
