Thank you very much Mike The Baader Hyperion EP has a M43 thread under the eyerest which you can unscrew off and put a M43-T2 adaptor on instead, which then simply screws into the T-ring of the DSLR. It's the only way I have been able to achieve focus so far. I tried with a 2xBarlow but couldn't quite get focus. I've heard a powermate will work, but I only have a 2" powermate not a 1.25"
