Because I live in Turkey and I will purchase the items through ebay, the guarantee has no meaning for me so I do not worry about it :)

Hi Mike!

Thanks for the explanations.

Then we may call them big flashes with focusing lights :)

Anyway I have never seen such a big lamp (strobe) being used in macro.

I am sure the quality, warmth and homogenity of the light is guaranteed on this strobes.

Hi Mike; I think your vintage camera is very rare one, you said its 1957 model :) Anyway I like vintage cameras. Lomo was a very successful brand at its time I think. It has so many optical equipments. I also like Lomo 3.7 and 3.5 microscope lenses very much, they are cheap but high performer lenses...

Hi Pau;

Thanks for the info.
I just want to make observations at high magnifications like 100X.

I realized that I do not need a microscope for stacking. I already have all equipments that I need.

I decided just using it for high magnification observations, you and Chris changed my mind :lol:
