I'm trying to figure out how this thing works:

I see on KMZ site ( http://www.zenitcamera.com/archive/zenit-12/index.html ) there is an NV-400 attached to Zenit 312m... now is this the same exact unit that is sold here?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Night-Vision-Scope-Zenit-NV-400-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ150183136874QQihZ005QQcategoryZ117143QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

Is it versatile, that is can I just unscrew something and screw it on on my Zenits or there is a special model for cameras?

Thanks,
Vlad.

I can only tell you about the old model. There was a little round adapter that fit over the lens, then the nightvision unit screwed into it. You could then get fuzzy round green flouorescent pictures!

LOL! [:D], it's that bad, huh? So this adapter is sold separately or comes with a kit do you know?

Thanks!
Vlad.

The adapter was sold seperately. I have one around somewhere when I find it I will take pictures.

I see, thank you Nathan! Pictures would be appreciated but not necessary,I just wanted to find out whether I need extra stuff for it or it's just attachable.

Nathan, I wonder if you have any of the actual photos left somewhere that you took with this attachment - that I would be very curious to see.

Thanks,
Vlad
