I am after one of the following Canon macro lenses: - Canon EF-S 60mm F2.8 Macro USM (more ideal) - Canon EF 100mm F2.8 Macro USM (This is not the "L" super Canon one - just the basic one) I am fi...

Hello everyone! Once again I am suffering from the problem of reading too much into a topic and getting confused. I have a "Radical" (Chinese brand I think) compound trinocular microscope with a standard brightfield condenser. I also have some 3D printed darkfield filters I purchased from eBay. Is i...

Hello Everyone! I am looking to update my Canon EOS 500D as it is coming to the end of its life. I am looking at either Canon or Sony mirrorless ranges, ideally with focus bracketing capability.

I have for sale Nikon TU Plan ELWD WD 11mm N.A. 0.60 (Thread 25mm) The lens I sell is new, it was simply removed from the new microscope. It's a really good lens for extreme macro , due to the large NA 0.60 and WD11 I also have a BD version (brightfield and darkfield) with a 32mm thread - the same ...

I would violently disagree that 3mm is "more than enough" working distance for most macro. True, an experienced photographer can make 3mm work sometimes for some subjects. .... First, thanks for the nikon mplan brochure; never seen those M Fluor lenses around. Would not mind trying the 14x and 26x ...

Hi, Now I am using Sony APS-C cameras (Sony NEX-5N and A5100) and bought a cheap (20€) Nikon 1 J1 but I am thinking about getting a m4/3 camera as the main one for my scope, the 2x crop factor seems ideal for nikon CFN lens line. I do not need things like a viewfinder or but I would like to have go...

Hello! After creating a post last week and deliberating about a 10x objective - I am now considering taking a step forward to a 20x - as I feel I have too many objectives close together in magnification. From your experiences what would be a good starting out 20x, finite, objective be? Budget wise: ...
