"Next Generation" night vision scope & lens attachment...

[klycea@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Adam-HALPID Klyce)]

     I just received a catlog (mostly cheesy stuff) but on page
     seven it has a night vision scope that some of you may be 
     interested in.
     
     The catalog is for Heartland America, 1-800-229-2901.
     Heartland America
     6978 Shady Oak Road
     Eden Prarie, MN 55344 - 3453
     
     According to the catalog:
     
     The lense is a 50mm F1.2 with 3x magnification.
     16 degree field of view
     Light gain of 35,000 max
     Close focus distance is one foot.
     
     The ad. copy goes on to say that there is an "infrared light"
     that "shoots" up to 100 yards (300 feet).
     
     The lens is $349.99 
     The Camera adapter is $59.99 (It only says it fits any 35mm 
     or video camera with a macro lens)
     The 2x lens (doubles the focal length) is $49.99
     
     The lens is made by AMT, and it is the AMT MO-2.
     Specs.:
     2 3/4 inches X 8 1/2 inches x 2 3/4 inches.
     1 1/2 lbs.
     
     I have to say, however, that judging from the other stuff in
     this catalog I do not trust this company to offer quality
     merchandise.
     
     Hope this helps,
     
     Adam.
