I think there might be a 'wide adapter' for the T-32 that widens it to cover
21mm FOV. I belive it covers 24mm FOV without any adapter. The zoom adapter
narrows the beam only (I think, I'd have to check...). There is a 'wide
adapter' for the F-280 that covers 21mm FOV, I know because I got the F-280
and adapter along with the 21/2.0 lens... In all cases, as you widen the
coverage you lose light strength as there is only a fixed amount of light
coming out. All the more reason to bounce a T-45 and be done with it.
