Is there an adapter for my Bushnell Elite scope and my P&S camera?

Hello,
I purchased a Bushnell Elite 20-60x80 Angled Spotting Scope from you several years ago along with a 35 mm camera adapter. I'm wondering what adapter I need to use with my point and shoot cameras?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your inquiry.  Unfortunately, Bushnell does not make any adapters available for a point-and-shoot style camera and I’m not aware of any other adapters made by other manufacturers that would work.  In this instance, I think your best alternative would be to try and fabricate your own adapter.

Thanks!

Are Surefire flashlights worth the price?

Hello,

I am bowled over by the prices of the Surefire flashlights. What could they possibly be to warrant such a price tag?

Hi Polly,

Thanks for your inquiry.  Your question is a very legitimate one and one I asked myself prior to having experience with these lights.  I've owned a Surefire G2 flashlight for about 3 years now, well before we ever started selling these.

Here is a link to the light I'm talking about: http://www.eagleoptics.com/flashlights/surefire/surefire-g2-handheld-flashlight

What makes these flashlights so wonderful is their performance in combination with their compact size.  My little Surefire light is brighter and illuminates objects at much greater distances than the trusty Maglite that I have which is about 7 times the size and weight of my little Surefire light. At $41.30, this particular light wasn't much more expensive than the clunky Maglite I was used to using and it takes two compact batteries rather than 3 D-Cell batteries. 

I can promise you that if you compared one of the Surefire lights to any existing flashlights you have, you would see the difference.  As to weather or not these differences justify the higher price tag, that's a question that only the end-user can answer for themselves.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to email or call.

Thanks!

Need Replacement Lens Cover for a Zeiss Scope

Dear Eagle Optics,  

I am in need of a replacement rubber eyepiece cover for my Zeiss Diascope 65 w/ zoom.  I notice that you do not stock the rubber eyepiece cover, but you do have the Vortex Tethered Objective LensCover for Binoculars that might fit (one pair costs $9.95)  The approximate diameter of the Zeiss eyelpiece is 52-53mm--it looks as if either the medium or large size would fit snugly on the Zeiss eyepiece.  

Is it possible, at your convenience, to see which size would fit the best over the Zeiss zoom eyepiece & email that result back to me?  I would like to get the original Zeiss cover, but if the Vortex cover works, I at least would have an extra cover!  

Thanks & Appreciation,  

John K

Hi John,

 I checked the fit for a number of different lens covers and I found a pair that fit the Zeiss zoom eyepiece quite well.

They are the Vortex medium lens covers: http://www.eagleoptics.com/binocular-accessories/vortex/vortex-tethered-objective-lens-covers-medium

If you wanted to get a replacement of the original cover that came with your eyepiece, I would recommend you contact Zeiss to see if that part is available.  Typically, manufacturers don't supply dealers with those type of replacement parts.

You can reach Zeiss at: 1-800-441-3005.

Let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks!
