Great thanks for the info. I do have one other question. I know there is the exam fee for OPS, do we have to pay an additional fee to the company who comes to our locality to administer the written exam?

By the way, I am not sure if you or others out there are aware, but the OPS Board of Certification has just launched their new, updated OCT-C exam which now includes Spectral Domain technology. Also, the cost of the exam has been dropped to $200 for those taking the exam before September 28, 2014!! The only thing to be aware of is the scores for those taking the exam during this special pricing period will be held until mid October. So you would need to wait until then to hear if you passed. Let me know if you have any other questions, Steve...

I guess the question is whether the Canon 6D/Zeiss 2X adapter will "parfocal" with the Zeiss eyepiece. I would focus off your monitor while trying to come up with a better solution. When using the 2X with a film setup there was no particular magic about it. Just focus very carefully and compose within the viewfinder grid. Good patients would yield very nice results. >>>>> >>>>> sincerely, jeremy p. pantell bfa cra >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> On Friday, August 8, 2014 4:06 PM, Aissa Dirawatun <aissa9400@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Hello everyone, >>>>> >>>>> Our practice purchased a Zeiss 2x lens adapter for our FF4 (w/ Canon 6D) camera to use for ONH pictures.
