Yahoo! My Nizo Wide Angle Adapter works on my Scoo

[Matt Pacini]

Boy was this a relief!
I desperately need a wide ange adapter for my Scoopic.
After seeing them for sale from $300-$750!!!, I had resigend to saving my money and getting a Century adapter for $395.
Then I though, hey, I wonder if I could use my Nizo Aspheric III?
I was not optimistic, because it's 67mm and my Scoopic is 72mm.
Also, when I tried the Canon wide angle adapter I had for my Canon 1014XL-S on my Nizo 6080, it vinyetted like hell, even though they were both 67mm diameter lenses!!!!
So you just can't tell.

Anyway, so I put a 72-67 step down ring on, screwed on the Nizo AsphIII, and it works!
REALLLLLY wide angle too, just like I like it!
So I'm excited. I don't have to by anything!
(However, I haven't tried it with a filter between them yet, which will be necessary shooting exteriors.... so we'll see)

Hey Matt

What a coincidence - recently I experimented using my Nizo561Macro's Aspheric wideangle on my Beaulieu MR8 Reflex Control (reg 8) with Angeniuex 52mm zoom , with great success too!

Since my first post, I put a screw-in filter on, then the Nizo wide angle, and it STILL works!
So I'm a happy camper.
Really cool!
