Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eugene Archer" data-source="post: 1325875" data-attributes="member: 9915">Thanks Jerry !Bob, eh . . . you're right - the one I bought seems to have disappeared from the listings on the HKDCPLUS eBay web page (maybe out of stock at the moment ?). There are other suppliers who seem to sell the same item on eBay for around the same price (sometimes with free a UV filter). Search for "lens adapter tube" and then look for ones to fit either the A590 or the A570. The adapter for the A590 will only fit that and the A570, no others apparently.One other thing to be aware of is that there might be some slight sharp edges on the adapter bayonet mount (Chinese made aluminium !). Mine had some but were easily fixed with a small file and I rounded them off a little to avoid damaging the plastic bayonet mount on the camera body.Hope this helps !EugenePS: If there's anybody out there who also uses an A590 and a Zeiss zoom eyepiece and you can't find the right plastic tube (63mm outside diameter) to make the second part of the adapter I still have some of the PVC tube left (maybe enough to make 6 or 8 ?). I can cut it and post it on a first-come-first-served basis for the price of the stamps and a jiffy bag.</blockquote>
