Hi Thank you all for your invaluable information. I managed to purchase an objective on the 17th of this month (Dec)...Nikon BD x20 from someone in America it was about $100 or so. Haven't got it yet, I'm blaming the holiday-for the delay-so is the seller. I now have the adapters I need...so when th...

Hi Rik/Betty

I had the BD x10 snatched from my grasp... got my eye on a nice BDx20,
not where I wanted to start from but if I can get it at the right price I'll be happy enough... for now.

Rik has already provided you with comprehensive information on the adapters. Besides the cone shaped RMS to M42 adapter, there's also a flat one from the same, well known and trusted seller: ebay 200470968028 or http://www.ebay.com/itm/RMS-Thread-to-M42-Adapter-for-microscope-objective-flat-/200470...

Hi everyone I ask for your help. I’m going to buy a Nikon BD plan 10x 0.25 objective. I’m a bit confused as to which adapters I will need to use with this lens. I intend to use it on a Nikon d300s body and BD 6 bellows. Do I have to screw it to the end of my macro lens (Nikon D60)? Or reversed macro...

On the river bank near my home there lives a large colony of the wasps Mellinus arvensis. They rest and hunt amongst the Japanese Balsam that lines most of the river bank.

Very cool indeed.. out of a strong desire to know-what lens did you use?

I need and would appreciate expert help with this question please. Last year I graduated with a Ba (Hons) wildlife photography degree. I had two macro images printed for my submission to the graduates exhibition. They were both stacked images of 60 shots per image. I had them printed size A1 with a ...

If it's not a burying beetle do you know what it is? Believe that's in the name he listed: "Picnic Beetle ( Glischrochilus fasciatus )". If you do a Google search on bugguide Glischrochilus fasciatus you'll find that it pops up under several different common names. It's in the "Sap-feeding Beetles"...
