A Long Time Ago Spiretone Had ...
A long time ago Spiretone had an adaptor that you could attach to a
telephoto SLR lens that would convert it to a telescope, i.e., with no camera attached. I can't remember what they called it to see if i could look up on google. What were they called? Where can I buy a functional equilvant today, Nikon mount? thanks for the help |

Where can I buy a functional equilvant today, Nikon mount? thanks for the help I have a Vivitar that does the same thing, with a Nikon mount, but I mislaid it, and haven't been able to find it for the last year or so....It was called the "V-1" or something like that....It was great to carry with me to flea markets and garage sales and the like. First off, I could tell whether a strange lens was a Nikon mount or not, and second, I could look through the lens and see if there were any defects...... |

Thanks for the information, it is what I wanted.
Too bad that Nikon doesn't seem to to be made any more. (and wouldn't it be nice if the adaptor could enable the IS system) On Tue, 8 May 2007 18:33:48 -0400, Rita Ä Berkowitz ritaberk2O04 @aol.com wrote: Rita Ä Berkowitz wrote: wrote: A long time ago Spiretone had an adaptor that you could attach to a telephoto SLR lens that would convert it to a telescope, i.e., with no camera attached.

teleaphoto lens are poor telescopes, they are designed for cameras and not
viewing. Look at the good telescopes, hell, look at the 3 I own, my smallest is a F9 4.25inch Dob which can blow away most lens. I've also got a F8 8inch and a 10inch F5 too all dobs. -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Sidewalk Astronomy www.sidewalkastronomy.info AD World http://www.adworld.netfirms.com/ wrote in message ups.com...
