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


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......
