Nikon CFI Plan Apo 4X/0.20 vs 5x vs Mag.x 5x LD Test

Post by RobertOToole »

This is the second part of my test of the Mag.x 5x, this time I compared the Nikon Plan APO 4x/0.20 at 5x.

See the first test, Mag.x vs the Mitutoyo 5x here: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... hp?t=36876

HarisA gave me the idea to push the Nikon PlanAPO to 5x, which I had never run before, to help boost the corner performance and at the same time eliminate the tube lens performance question since they use the same 250mm tube lens at 5x.

The Nikon PlanAPO corners do look at little better at 5x than at 4x.

Lenses:
Nikon CFI Plan Apochromat 4X/0.20 ?/- Nano Crystal Coating Objective
Qioptiq Mag.x LD Plan Apochromat 5x / 0.20 Objective
