The easy way to figure the focal length (approximately) is to reverse the formula for extension ex = f*(m+1) For a 160 tl (150mm to the internediate image) 10x objective 150 = f*(10 +1) f = 150/11 = about 14.5 mm. That assumes that the principal plane of the objective is at the flange - it's probabl...

A good enlarging lens of >70 mm will not likely outdo a MP-E 65. A 50mm componon-s or APO-componon 45mm should perform virtually as well as a MP-E in that magnification range. It will commonly cost you significant resolution to get more working distance. The componon-S 50/2.8 is an extremely good le...

I have a 40/2.8 componon, fixed aperture lens. Not a great performer at f/2.8. Really needs to be stopped down a notch or two. Another thing to consider with running a microscope objective at a lower magnification than designed. If the front element of the objective is smaller than the entrance pupi...

The with using a blue filter is two-fold on a dSLR. 1) There are only half as many blue pixels on the detecter. 2) Put a blue filter on and try to focus the image. I dare ya. Our eyes are not particularly sensitive to blue light, especially in a darkish viewfinder. Green works really well and is eas...

The componon 50/2.8 is the best 50mm enblarging lens that I have tried. Should be mounted reversed. Will need a reversing ring and a step-up adapter that fits the 43mm threads (at least mine is 43mm). If it is one of the newer lenses, you will also need to remove the aperture handle to mount in reve...
