I've seen that tunable top, and from what I could find out, it is useless without the actual Paracorr. It adjusts for the difference in focusers to get the best image over the field, but you have to have a Paracorr lens assembly plugged into it to do any good. I may be wrong, but that's what I found out. That might also explain the huge difference in price between the two pieces.<BR>
