Interesting. I've never seen one of these. It obviously uses some
transfer lenses to gain some back focus and presumably (I hope) invert
the image. It also obviously has a 9mm eyepiece which would give about
9-28X on a Zuiko 85-250mm lens. One problem is that with anything over
85-100mm you're definitely in tripod territory so whatever lens you use
should have a tripod mount. Converting anything other than a T-mount
lens would be a problem I think. For the price I'd stick with binocs
and a small spotting scope.
