Update I couldn't push back the 2.5mm jack shell to expose the pin out on the Nikon specimen cable because it was hard moulded. And I was not that keen on exposing the wiring on the other end and shorting combinations to find out wire functions. So a bit more time searching on Google helped out. I h...

Thank you for your positive reply. I will certainly pm you if one from the uk does not materialise.

Hi

Wanted from UK preferred. Trinocular for Nikon Optiphot

Just for a test rig.

Tried to attach photo.



If you have one please PM.

Thanks

John

Yes I had a chat with this shop and then we switched to email. I'm still in contact with them, they are manufacturers not just Aliexpress dealers. We will see how we could make this source available, ideas welcome. I wonder if the manufacturer would be will to "recognise" this Group and take orders...

Hi all, today I received the lens and tested it against my copy of a Mitutoyo 10x. In the screenshots they are marked as "Mity" and "China", the seller said their brand name is "HOOPOU". Hi, Thanks for your work on this. You posted a link at the beginning of this epic discussion. https://www.aliexp...

edit: of course if you have the cable that was used to connect the 3.5mm on the board to the nikon body then it would be possible to find the pin out from that. My preference will be examination instead of experimentation given that there is always risk. The Nikon cable I have selected for price do...

Thank you so much to everyone who has looked at my post.  All suggestions are welcome. Perhaps I can give a recap on where I am and what the remaining issue is.  I take the point about giving the fullest details. Of the Z series I thought that I could get a body at a reasonable price based on used w...

Hi Again Chris I was surprised too. The later Z versions have this dedicated function but the used price with warranty puts a substitution into uneconomic territory. After Googling I also have hopes of using my Canon on the board. I found two very useful references to Remote Shutter Release Cables. ...

So I think that if the Nikon Z50's spec's work for you, there is no reason not to get one. This said, it appears that you already have a Canon body that would work--if only your electronic control board would actuate it. I think you could save a lot of money and trouble making your Canon body and t...

Hi

Would you have any pointers to say avoid a Nikon Z50 Digital Camera Body?

Best, John

Hi Everyone In need of some advice please. I am not a Nikon camera user. No reason not to have done so up till now though.  I have an electronic board based application which is configured for a Nikon trigger shutter release and it seems pragmatic to continue with Nikon rather than re-configure/conv...

Thank you so much for your help.

At the moment I am hoping to find, one day, a photo tube fitting for a PZO MST 130.

If I see one or something else of interest I will PM you with the opportunity with details.

Best Regards, John

Thank you. I will be interested to see the example images and perhaps how to get a tested and verified copy.

Best, John

BTW, any experience with the late model Nikon Plan APO 2x 0.1? Have one of those here, a loaner, its a good looking lens. Best, Robert I do own one of those. It's a nice lens for microscopy, certainly, but for macrophotoghaphy there's much overall better and cheaper options. For once it's not that ...

Hi All, Yes a bit cryptic.......... I am a PZO user and from time to time I browse https://allegro.pl/listing?string=pzo%20mikroskop&strategy=NO_FALLBACK. I have looked into Terms and Conditions and as far as I can see buyers are unable to pay with sources outside of Poland and Sellers rarely ship o...
