In a related vein, I've read the FAQ and related posts several times over but I still can't figure out what pieces I need to attach a Mitutoyo (say, 10x) to my camera. I've got a 5D3 and presently the only candidate tube lenses I own are a 100/2.8 macro and a 70-200/2.8 zoom. I have a 300/2.8 as well but at 6 pounds and a front element exceeding 100 mm in diameter, it's obviously out of the question.
You just need a Mitutoyo to 42mm or 52mm adapter and a few rings to cover other lens filter diameter threads like 58, 62, 68, and 77mm for example. All are available on eBay, WeMacro and MJKZZ carry the Mitutoyo adapters. The objective mounts to the adapter, and the adapter mounts to the tube lens filter threads, or rings if you need other thread diameters. Very simple and not expensive.

Best,

Mike
