Ibbo! Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Found camera The 200mm distance between the Et and the BF can be adjusted to give focus the few mm of travel does not seem to affect the image or change the sweet spotThe BF is mounted in an old 2" adaptor that has been widened out by lathe to take the 5 mm BF Hope this helpsSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
