[rollei_list] Re: What is this?

Jerry,

You are technically correct, but Rollei sold the Penta B as an occular for Eyeglass wearers when using the pentaprism. Rollei also sold diopters for the pentaprism in +3 to -3 strengths.

When you use yours, you are, in fact using it correctly because if you look beyond the top of your prism, you'll see the correct view that is imaged in the prism as seen by the Finder lens.

Todd,

Gee, I always thought it was a focusing eyepiece that also acts
as a diopter correction. I just tried mine, and when I raise my
eyepoint higher, I end up looking at the top of my prism :-)
