Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paul Hackett" data-source="post: 1913541" data-attributes="member: 1343">Jaff dont be sorry, you said it as you saw it, still not got my head around the concept, but i really liked what i saw, and the quality of the images taken were on a par with a DLSR specific lens and possibly better, especially the lack of CA on the edges, as this is notable with some DSLR lenses. But to me, it is not in competition with DSLR lenses as the autofocus is not there so you cant really compare like for like.This idea/concept is "thinking outside the box" for me, something most optic manufacturers never do. As i now work for Kowa, i appreciate that people may think i am pushing the product, i would go as far to say that if this never gets off the ground, i have already asked to buy this item for myself at my own expense. Those of you who know me will understand that. Pete Gamby said he knew of 2 people lined up to buy it !Jaff, the bayonet fitting is that of the 883/4 eyepieces ( 20 - 60 zoom, 30X WA, 25 LER, VA1, VA2, & VA3 and both photo adapters ) and they will all work with this item, i also agree that price will be an issue for some people.Good to see you as well and the family, and as per usual, not enough time to have a good chat though.Paul</blockquote>
