Re: Olympus BH-2 voltage adjustment?

Just to clarify, there were no imt2, bht, bhtp, bhtu, bhs, bhsp, or bhsu scopes made to accommodate 120 and 240v. Later scopes perhaps. But not bh2.

Re: Olympus BH-2 voltage adjustment?

There is a 100/115V switch on the bh2, to select for operation between North America (115v) and Japan (100v). None are selectable between 120 and 240. Don't even think about trying that!

Olympus Focus Blocks

FOR MACRO RIGS I have for sale two Olympus BHMJ focus blocks. These are nice focus blocks, in that the fine focus knobs have full authority - they do not run out of adjustment range.

If you're looking for one to use in the trinocular port, stay away from the -H (helical focus) version, as they do not fit.
