Low power objective wanted!/swap for 100X oil

Post by Cyclops »

My scope comes with three objectives, a 10X,a 40X and a 100X oil immersion, which I dont use.
I have tried to find a lower power obj. lens as this would be more suitable for me.(standard RMS thread)

If there's anyone out there has a spare low power obj(say 2-5X) I would be more than willing to swap my 100X.
Cheers
Larry

I don't know Larry but LWS Scientific may have what you are looking for, if RMS is the same as DIN. More than likely the lowest power objective you may find will be a 2.5X. I would like to have a 1X ICS objective for my scope and found one but it is in the thousands of dollars since it is one of those fancy super color corrected apo's or something like that. :? Maybe someone might have a trade in for you. :D
