Hi - does anyone know where i could buy a Mitutoyo M plan apo objective case? Doesn't necessarily have to be the original case, but would prefer it due to its stability
Thank you!
Andy

Re: mitutoyo objective case
Est ce que le filetage du couvercle est très fin ou plutôt épais ?
Car sur mes 3 boites originales Mitu, 2 ont des pas de filetage très fin et c'est vraiment galère à ouvrir et fermer : ça couine, ça coince. Alors que la boîte avec gros filetage c'est nickel

The threads are thin just like on the original Mitutoyo case, but at least the cap is thicker so holds on better

Re: mitutoyo objective case
Let me clarify what I think Christophe is asking.
Original Mitutoyo lens capsules have come in at least two and perhaps three thread pitches that I've seen. Most are a coarse thread pitch that works well. But some are a finer pitch that does not work well--it's finicky.
So I think the question is whether the vials currently on eBay or aliexpress are the desirable coarse pitch or the undesirable fine pitch.
The eBay ones I got years ago have the nice coarse thread pitch, and very similar to the better Mitutoyo originals. I'm very happy with mine.
I suspect the current offerings are also good, but can't say for sure. But from what is pictured, and from what other members are reporting, I'd go ahead and buy them.

Re: mitutoyo objective case
C'est exactement ça Chris.
Et je n'arrive pas à voir clairement sur les illustrations si c'est un filetage épais ou fin. Si c'est épais effectivement je vais en acheter 2 car les autres sont pénibles à manipuler.

Un petit tissu en micro-fibres, comme ceux offerts avec les protection pour mobile ou écran d’apparel photo, imbibé de quelques gouttes de WD-40 passé sur le filetage du bouchon et le tour est joué! Plus aucun problème de grincement, aucune difficulté à ouvrir et fermer.
