Leitz Ortholux on Sony a7r ii

Post by skrama »

Hello All,

I posted this in the Beginner Micro section and its a repost. Admins, if this against the rules, I am sorry and please delete it, but I felt that this sub might give me better insight.

Other thread: https://www.photomacrography.net/forum/ ... highlight=

This may have been posted, but apologies to post again. I searched but my limited knowledge it wasnt easy to sort this out. With that out of the way, here is the question:

I am very new to the world of macro and micro-photography. after reading and going through a lot of set ups, I came across someone locally ready to part their way with Leitz Ortholux microscope. I have attached pictures of the item for sale. The original owner uses it to take some pictures of the slide and digitize them using a Nikon D300. I can buy adapters, but my question, can I use this kind of a microscope to venture into photo-micrography.

The price they are quoting is not certain but in range of $450-550.

Please help me in regards to this request. Image
