Thanks for your comments, guys.
Charles, the MZ16 has a range from 4.5x to 115x. I could double that with a 2.0x objective, but the working distance is so tight that creative lighting would be almost impossible. I have 2 objectives, a 0.63x and a 1.0x, both are APOs. When we added our new camera there was a 1.6x magnification boost in the images, because it has more pixels on a smaller sensor. These images were shot with the old camera (1600x1200). The new camera is 2560x 1920.
