Carlos,I am not arguing with you: the Mutar was optimized for the 3.5/75 CZ Planar. I was simply noting that it works well with the 2.8/80 Planar as well. Now, Mister Critic, having bashed the rather neat Duonar (CZJ contemplated a 4X version but this never entered production, though I understand that the Zeiss Jena works has a single example, dated from around 1950), what do you think of the Prewar Magnar? I find mine useful on occasion, albeit it is in Bayonet I mount: it is a converted telescope eyepiece, I believe.
