There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The problem seems to be that the tube causes the eyepiece to sit about 1.5in farther out than it normally would. This makes focusing difficult if not impossible depending on the magnification. I did better by placing the open camera body hand-held over the original eyepiece without the adapter, which is of course all kinds of wrong, but I needed to know if a good eyepiece image was at least possible - it is, just not with this adapter.
Add to this the disappointing construction and I'm not impressed. The hole for the eyepiece clamp screw had burrs on the inner surface, so the eyepiece jammed hard right there during insertion. There's also a thick coating of something on the inside which pealed away with eyepiece insertion.
Returned for refund.
