DSLR version is 80mm long. weighs 500 gms.
Diameter 74mm
Based on the standard T mount with appropriate adapter for each mount.
Available 15 september for 170 euros.
With the amount of mirror telephoto lenses around S/H for very little, one wonders why Kenko would ever bother.......Kenko call it version II, but is it because there is a warehouse of modified old stock that's trying to cleared out, or is it truly new?
Either way it has the usual lack of contrast and will be a struggle selling it!

The reported weight is significantly higher than the earlier/current version.. But the rest of the specs is identical. As are the looks.
