Doc Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Well done Andy. They are different to mine. The barrels are different mine is like the 25mm one. By the look of it you have one Generation 2 and four Kinoptics is that correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 That's what I think Mick, but that 10mm has thrown me out. They all look the same except the 10mm side marked. But it's only the marking that is different. Next time there's a meet I'll bring them along so we can compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
