Thanks,
Update:
I ordered/payed and received 20 Wafer but accidentaly packed in 10 mailing boxes, so currently I'm waitung for 10 additional boxes before I can ship them individually.

I also taped the small Toshiba Chip beside the testwafer (easy removable if not used).

I also will add two microscope slides with 15x15mm pieces of sanding paper in grit sizes 120/220/400/800 and 1200/2000/2500/4000. The one or other might find this helpful to compare lenses or judge a homogenous behaviour of the test lens.

regards
Lothar

If you send me via "sending to friend" please add a shipping address because using "Friends" payment without fees no address data is transmitted.

Thanks for your help Lothman, looking forward to getting the chips!

I found another candidate:

Here's what the thing looks like:

I'll get some panoramas up later. I'm not going to do another stack with my Z6 until the card reader comes. Having to transfer photos via USB-C makes me want to grind my radioactive lenses into sand and eat it.

I don't know what that last bit was supposed to mean... :roll:

Gentlemen,

everything is packed and will be shipped soon.

Just a suggestion for the next time, if you could provide a seller those infos together:

Forum_nickname
real name
address

this would help a lot, just took me an hour to figure everything out

regards
Lothar


P.S.: I'm curious what you think about the sanding paper

Edit
P.S.: All Chips are shipped

I ended up getting mine in the mail yesterday. I hope to have some time this weekend to use them for playing with the $100 Nikon 20x 0.75.

This is a 12 inch wafer, I might have this one?

I have too many disks they are starting to look alike :shock:

Good job finding this one MC!

No idea where MacroCosmos sourced his but there are two for sale on eBay now for$100+. I'm used to paying something like $10 each...not $100+.

The seller probably picked up an entire stack of these for $20, he's going to make a killing if he can get $100 each.

Best,

Robert

Just checked and I do have this one, its 12 inches across!

I think I paid something like $25 for a dozen various twelve inch wafers and one of this type was included.

Best,

Robert
