Well, it is a bit of a tight fit, but once attached it is perfectly useable. It's easiest to focus using the fingers of your left hand once you have attached the IS-case. But surely Opticron could make an SOS case that actually fits the MM2. There are after all a lot of people using this model.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9542389.post-1156705357622560212006-08-27T19:02:00.000+00:002006-08-27T19:02:00.000+00:00ah right.... in my heart of hearts I know that eit...ah right.... <BR/><BR/>in my heart of hearts I know that either the 20x or 27x would be better than the zoom on the 50 but that extra power .... :D<BR/><BR/>If I hadn't wanted a waterproof scope I'd have gone down the basic MM2/HDF zoom route (ED not avail at the time).<BR/><BR/>Oh hope you make 200 this year.The Quacks of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165918541194607143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9542389.post-1156675705756352612006-08-27T10:48:00.000+00:002006-08-27T10:48:00.000+00:00Hi Pete,No, I haven't asked about the ED50 case, b...Hi Pete,<BR/><BR/>No, I haven't asked about the ED50 case, but I happen to know someone in the family has got me the grippa case for my forthcoming birthday, so that's that!<BR/><BR/>My normal tripod weighs about the same as yours, so I'm alright around reserves etc. But, like you, I only use the shoulder pod plus MM2 around the patch.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I had the fixed 18x, but then traded for the zoom. The 18x is the best overall eyepiece, but I just couldn't be without the zoom - got used to one on my Zeiss. It's pretty good, usable to 36x, but I wouldn't want any more power. Not so good for digiscoping though (more vignetting - there was almost none on the 18x).Hornethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935819127357898592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9542389.post-1156657743272057502006-08-27T05:49:00.000+00:002006-08-27T05:49:00.000+00:00may i ask did you ask in-focus about the ED50 case...may i ask did you ask in-focus about the ED50 case?<BR/><BR/>The Leica eye piece covers are good.
