Re: What's a Ph 1 objective?
If you're in the US, then there are two inexpensive known good objectives that are commonly in stock as new parts. These are 1) the Nikon Finite Conjugate 10X NA 0.25 sold by Edmund Optics, and 2) ... Outside the US, beware of high shipping charges from those sources. Rik, firstly thank you for pre...

Mine has yet to arrive, and the USPS tracking stopped being updated on 7 June (presumably when it left the USA?). Reports of delivery on Wednesday to the Var (the next département to the Alpes Maritimes, where I live) and today to another French location, lead me to hope for early next week. This mi...

The price of the Mitty 7.5x seems aberrent, doesn't it? On the basis of that data set, yes; on the basis of the full data set for that range, the prices of the 10x and (to a lesser extent), the 5x are aberrant. 2x €825.55 5x €617.50 7.5x €1,159.00 10x €778.05 20x €1,804.05 50x €2,365.50 100x €3,030...

In Javier's example a Newport High Precision Adjustment Screw (very fine) has been used in place of a Vernier Micrometer. http://www.newport.com/AJS-Series-High-Precision-Adjustment-Screws/140172/1033/info.aspx#tab_Specifications Thanks Craig, I was puzzled by that part and thought it was a strippe...

So a4x infinity corrected objective and an Eos to Rms mount adapter is what i should be looking for? Not an EOS to RMS adapter. The objective does not mount directly to your camera, it mounts to the front of whatever you are using as a tube lens. So you need to know the filter thread of the front o...

Re: A black matte coat
I bought a black matt nail polish brand Claire´s and the results are more dark that my best matte sample of paint. One advantage of that, Claire's is a brand that is widespread in Europe and so available, while the micro-tools paint (and another spray paint that Charles Krebs recommended earlier ) ...

Contax 645 is not listed on mounts by register . But as a medium format lens (see review the register should be around 60-70mm. Thus infinity focus would be acheivable on any modern DSLR. The problem may be in finding an adapter which can supply the electronic signals (I believe this is a modern, AF...

I might also be willing to pay the full price, but I have to do a bit of research on this objective first. I don't have any Nikon eyepieces or photo eyepieces, so it's usefulness to me would be based on how well it works on a bellows without corrective optics. The Nikon CF objectives do not require...

Bonjour Josué, et bienvenue au forum The Canon 100 L seems to be a well received lens, you can probably do a lot with it plus extension rings and/or close-up lenses. But I shoot Nikon so can't give any detailed advice there. You will find many great photos taken with the Canon MPE-65 on this forum. ...

Re: Nikon D3200 24MP DX with wireless abilities
The sensor is most likely fab'ed by Sony, and quite possibly designed by them too.ChrisR wrote:SO we have the pixel density up again, in the tussle between Nikon and Canon. Sony of course have been doing it for a while.
