Hello Craig,
I had overlooked that, but send me a PM if you want one. From the address, I believe this is Nikon selling surplus stock.

| This seller probably doesn't need feedback. It appears to be none other than Nikon Instruments USA who are indeed located in Melville New York. |

Slightly embarased to admit I bought one, not knowing for sure if I can use it.  I had been looking for a Nikon finite 4x "N" Plan, with the larger 0.13 NA. I have a non-Nikon "standard" 4x /0.1 SPlan 160 that's been working well for me, but was hoping to upgrade someday to the N Plan, but haven't seen any come available lately (lost one about a month ago at >$110).
So when these came up today, I thought I recall previous discussion here that the "W"s were just as usable as non-Ws for the (dry) macro work we all do. Is that correct? If 'yes', I celibrate and wait on the USPS. If not, . . . you may see a single 4x W go up again in a week or so. |

Drat, all gone! At $40, this would have been a fun lens to play with. A friend of mine wants me to photograph creatures that live in water, and I can imagine approaches to doing this with a water immersion lens. Also, 4x is a very useful range to work in.
Oh, well. |

The tip is a conical piece of glass with probably a flat end but not necessarily.
It is called a dipping cone.
They have also been made as separate attachments. There are also similar cones used for ophthalmic use on slit lamp microscopes. |
