Is the eyepiece and the lens supposed to be out of alignment? As in not parallel with each other? When mounted, the eyepiece is not exactly vertical

Like it isn't clear to look through? Our was aligned from the time I took it out of the box.

Yes it is designed that way on all of them. But if it is off to much take the eyepiece off and redo it to see if it will help.

I believe the eye piece and the lens are designed to be offset. I do not have the one in the picture, my eye piece is at an angle and not horizontal. But either model is supposed to be offset.

Close to flush. There is a small flange at the lens end that causes the lens to stick out about an 8th inch. I install mine with that flange against a flat surface, then the spacer sleeves behind the surface.

The pix's fool me, first note it is a 30mm ring, second it appears to be an offset, it is not, depending on your scope, the front site will be in the view, most times it is to close and will not cause a problem. I was looking for a mount that set slightly off center. Hope that helps

The threads are very fine...start by turning the threaded section in the opposite direction. This action lines up the threads, then screw the adapters, lenses on as usual...Thats what worked for me...

That doesn't sound right to me. At a guess, perhaps your telescope alignment with Venus is not correct.

I have a Tasco Space Station model, 500 mm focal length. It is a reflector and therefore a terrestrial image is upside down. I was told by a Bushnell representative that the lens would invert the image for me. Bushnell owns Tasco, which went bankrupt. The lens didn't work for me, it might for you? I don't know.

Not on either the surface of the lens (back or front), nor anyplace inside the lens. Check to see if there is anything on the surface, although even if there was it should be out of focus. Are you seeing this through the viewfinder of your camera (or LCD display), or when you look through the lens (detached from the camera)? If you do not see it with another lens on the LCD display, then the problem is with this new lens. If you do see it with other lenses, then possibly dirt on the camera's sensor. In either case, try to exchange the product.

It's not. It is offset to the left by about a quarter if an inch. That's because it screws directly into the cameras mount screw which is in the same location.

The lens reflector in the ophthalmoloscope might be bent downwards. Try sticking in a toothpick and jiggling it around. It's quite irritating actually. You might want to contact the vendor for a replacement if all else fails.

Yes the mount was designed to work correctly with distance scale on lens. Otherwise it could've just been designed as a flat adaptor.

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

I got this magnifer mount and it doesn't line up with my vortex sparc.... ymmv

jmich; Like you, I certainly was not trying to be glib. I just did not encounter the problem you did. I do have one idea, though: The scope comes with two eyepieces. One of the eyepieces is useful, but the other one I found useless. The target could not be centered or even seen. Hope this helps.J

Fine threads allow you to turn it clockwise to attach it to the installed lense. A lite two fingered "snug" when tightning it down, is all you need to confirm that it is fully seated.

Yes sir. Yet it's not design for that. If you have the lens tilted it's really hard to balance it. 1 more thing... This is one awesome item.

Mine was the same way, thought I'd gotten the wrong lens. I contacted Olympus and they said it shouldn't be like that and to exchange it if I wanted. I didn't want to mess with it and it has become easier to put on and take off without making the mounting too loose for my other lens. It worked itself out.

It is not image stabilized. I'd check with Tamron to see if they make one in your mount.
