I used an old Kowa handheld with very good results in dogs and rabbits. Some 
models are also equipped  for IVFA.
There are used equipment dealers who still have some available.
Problem is they use film and would have to be adapted for digital....

Good luck
Peter

Subject: [optimal] Really cheap fundus camera


Hello all,

One of our retina docs is asking for an extremely cheap fundus camera solution 
for animal research.  He is suggesting under $5k cheap.  He has forwarded me an 
article from a Paul Yates, MD PHD who took a Panasonic FZ20 and with some 
engineering skills rigged a fundus camera for use in the ED.  Any other 
solutions that are practical and relatively easy?

Thanks!

Pat
