Posted - Jan 09 2008 : 5:13:43 PM Very good! there are several loupes which can be used for that purposes. I tried some jewellers loupes and oculars from broken binoculars they do excellent wide angles. I just developed a 15mm wide angle conjugating a 25mm fl jewellers loupe with a front negative lens of a 0.8 cheap wider At f 11 it rivals the famous Hologon and has no vignetting nor variable density in the picture. if you have a precision lathe you can built your own. I shall give you all technical data. Regards LP Note: broken binocular objectives give excellent telephotos. The Kazan 8x30 binocular objective has exact 135mm. The Sergei Pozad 16x60 has a good 300mm.
