They have 55 mm and 41 mm diameter, the large one perfectly fits to my Swaro 25-50 eyepiece, the smaller one equally perfect to my Leica Ultravid HD 8x42. They have more adapter rings that can be bought seperately: <a href="http://www.kowaproducts.com/kowa-iphone-compatibility.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.kowaproducts.com/kowa-iphone-compatibility.pdf</a>I have a Samsung S5 mini phone, but Kowa does not sell one that fits this phone directly. So I bought one for Samsung S5 or S4. The metal plate of the adapter is simply clued on to a normal phone hardcase by strong two-sided adhesive tape. So I took off the hardcase (took a bit of force), and clued it on another hardcase fitting my phone. The tape kept sticking to the metal plate, so I didnt even need to use new tape. Now everything fits well and it seems to work very well on both scope and bin.I'll let you know more when I got some pics. But this adapter seems to be very versatile, fitting many scopes, bins and phones.</blockquote>
