One of the shops in my area had one the last time I was in there a few weeks
ago, made by Rokinon in OM mount, of probably the same vintage as the
Spiritone version. It's only about the size of a 25mm extension tube with an
eye cup on the back, if I recall correctly it is a 10X eyepiece, and the
image is inverted to the correct orientation. I mounted it on a Zuiko 135mm
to see how well it worked and was surprised by the image quality. I think
they where asking $45, a little more than I wanted to spend at the time for
a novelty item, but the more I think about it, the more I want it. Maybe
I'll get it if they still have it next time I make it in there.
