I red somewhere that Pleiades do them. Do they still exist?
have found a few on line (expensive of course) but maybe some of you have good tips?
Hi Captain H, I think THIS thread should be of interest to you !

I need to look at it to see who it's made by, as the manufacturers details are stamped on it.
