Hi
I use a 70-200mm with my m/objs but my friend has asked me about this lens to use with a m/obj. Has anyone have any experience with this and using it with say a Nikon CF plan 20x or 10x

Denis, Peter,
I used a Nikon 70-200 VR as a "tube" lens with the Mit objectives. After some reviews here by folks I decided to try the Raynox reversed as the "tube" lens. These are $65 at B&H, and the other adapters only amount to $50 or so. The Raynox was a little sharper than the 70-200 with the Mit, I would assume that the same would be true with the Nikon objective.
There are a bunch of threads here on this subject.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks everyone for your feedback
Mike (mawyatt), what do you mean by "After some reviews here by folks I decided to try the Raynox reversed as the "tube" lens."
I use raynox250 with my 100mm and 105mm . Do you have a pic of what you mean. I would like to try the raynox with a nikon cf plan and mitutoyo but not sure how this is done with the Raynox.
I have combined 2 raynox 250's on a 105mm with some good results.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE
cheers
Denis

If you're not familiar with our FAQ: How can I hook a microscope objective to my camera?, be sure to read that also.

Yes, without an illustration of the setup the words alone can be confusing.
In what mawyatt wrote, the key bit is that one word: "try the Raynox as the tube lens". In other words, the Raynox plays the role of the tube lens. It takes the output of the objective, which is a virtual image focused at infinity, and refocuses it to form a real image back on the sensor.
