lonepal, the person who wrote that comment does not know what he or she is talking about. The Laowa 2.5x-5x lens is a highly specialized design with very thick elements unlike any normal wide angle lens I know, and is well corrected for macro work. Its best aperture is almost fully open, which is e...

Hi Omer, Thanks for the clarifications. I see you're considering camera/repro lenses as well, which is outside my expertise. Hopefully the others will be able to give you advice! Thank you Itchy! The Laowa 25mm is a solid lens, check out my review: https://macrocosmosblog.wordpress.com/2018/12/23/l...

Hi Itchy;

Yes I need this lens for focus stacking.
I have a Canon 100D and a Sony A7RII
Currently using Componon-s 50 enlarger lens.
In the past I used Mitty 5X,10X and 20X lenses.
I use Raynox DCR150 as a tube lens.
But finite lenses are also OK I already have bellows.
4X is also OK.

Thank you.

Connecting Microscope Lenses As Serial

Hi;

Can I get a good image quality if I connect 2 mitutoyo lenses in serial?

For example if I combine 5X and 10X? Will I get a 50X with good image quality :)

Thanks.
