One of the shops in my area had one the last time I was in there a few weeks 
ago, made by Rokinon in OM mount, of probably the same vintage as the 
Spiritone version. It's only about the size of a 25mm extension tube with an 
eye cup on the back, if I recall correctly it is a 10X eyepiece, and the 
image is inverted to the correct orientation. I mounted it on a Zuiko 135mm 
to see how well it worked and was surprised by the image quality. I think 
they where asking $45, a little more than I wanted to spend at the time for 
a novelty item, but the more I think about it, the more I want it. Maybe 
I'll get it if they still have it next time I make it in there.
