Post by Pawel »

What are the differences in image quality between these lenses. is Mitutoyo 20x better? did anyone compare it?

Thanks.

Don't worry I still got you covered viewtopic.php?f=25&t=44579
Based on my one copy not highly recommended unless it is cheap.

Optem is the same as Motic...?
I can just have this lens for 600eur and I don't know if it's worth buying. A new one is quite expensive, probably over 2k...

Sorry I mixed up brands in my haste to post (each identical to an Edmund product but not the same one).
I believe the Optem ones are a little newer, so they might be better. I don't think I'd spend that much on one though, maybe if you have the option to return it.
