P3D Re: Stitz beamsplitter

[Peter Davis <pd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, for a limited time, there are a ton of pictures at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220645279


It has neither focus nor interoccular adjustments.  Yet I haven't missed 
either.

The Pentax and Stitz viewers both have interoccular adjustment, but even 
so, I could not find a comfortable setting.  With the Stitz, if I moved the 
eyepieces out far enough to accomodate my eye spacing, parts of the image 
were masked out.  Likewise with the Pentax.  Maybe this is because I wear 
glasses, and these viewers are not designed for that.  I've had no problems 
with the Zeiss, though.
