Also, what is the correct method to mount >the lens with the occulars? There are several lens-hoods which will work on the DR: in fact, ANY of the E39 clip-on hoods will work. Specifically, the following will work: ITDOO IROOA/12571 (recommended -- this one was sold with the early DR's) 12585 (recommended -- this one was sold with the later DR's) 12538 (NOT recommended: this is a cheap & junky hood made from potmetal) 12504 As to mounting the lens, it must be mounted on the camera without the eyes in place. Then pull the lens head out and move the focus BEYOND the minimum distance on the normal range; this will put you into the macro mode. Slip on the eyes, and the lens will focus most wonderfully for close-up shots. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
