Dear all, I am looking to buy an immersion darkfield condenser for my 160mm tube Laborlux S (which has the same condenser system as Diaplan). PayPal payment and shipped to Houston area in Texas USA; please let me know my cost.

I have one of these dovetails which was taken from a Heine condenser. How much do you think is fair?
Alternatively, just 3D print the dovetail and stick the condenser into it.

Thank you. I don't think the dovetail alone is worth international shipping cost (I was hoping for the Leitz condenser - yes, I have two good immersion darkfield condensers for DIY mount).Macro_Cosmos wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 10:16 pmI have one of these dovetails which was taken from a Heine condenser.

And yes, I have a good friend who is 3D printing quite a few items for me, including two copies of this dovetail mount.

International shipping to Europe costs around $21 which is around 14 euros. Arguably that is cheaper than local couriers sometimes due to our horrible exchange rates.zzffnn wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 10:40 pmThank you.

3D printing should do the trick though. The Heine dovetail has a ring on it, it may or may not be an issue.
