Pat, 
 I would "try before you buy" if you are attempting widefield on small animals. 
Small animals = small pupils = 30 degree or less photos.
 
 What animals are in the lineup?
 
 Other opinions welcome!

And yes, we do have a Fundus Photo digital upgrade system for these Zeiss 
cameras (FF2, FF3, FF4).  Includes a slider to hold the barrier filter so you 
only use one Canon 5D Mark II digital back for color, red-free and F/A.

Commercial interest...yes.

Yes! In this time of reduced reimbursmemts, creative modification and use of 
existing equipment can save a bundle and, in your specific situation, put to 
use arguably the best optics ever compiled to photograph the retina. Deadline 
is Sept 7. I just wrote your first sentence for your abstract....finish it off 
and submit it.

WOW...what a treasure-trove of potential Scientific Session abstracts that have 
surfaced over this past week! If even half of them are presented in Chicago, 
Don Wong would be pleased. Submit! Submit! Submit! www.opsweb.org

I have a Zeiss FF2 (ha!) I would be happy to sell you for under 5K.  :-)  The 
mirror lever has been modified by Klaus Goldbecker so it can be used with a 
digital back.

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
