My New ScopeTronix MaxiView II EP states it will adapt directly to a 58mm. camera lens such as the *Sony DSC F707/717 also a 37mm. adapter will work, I am a little confused. Is anyone familar with this *camera? and secondly can I adapt my 35mm. OM-1 to this EP? thank you, John M. Astoria, OR.

The eyepiece you have is intended for afocal use with a camera where you can't remove the lens.

For your camera, you'll probably want to use a T mount in place of a camera lens, and an adapter so the eyepiece can screw into the T mount.
