Hi All,

Does anybody have experience of this bit of kit? The blurb says it will work upto 100m, is this the case even in bright sunlight? Does it allow autofocus or do you have manually prefocus? I see they are around the £250 mark, does anyone know of a cheaper place?
It will be used with a 1Ds MKII

All help and suggestions greatly appreciated

TIA

Regards

Rob

This does allow autofocus

Hope that helps
