I have one of the Amscope 3.5x-90x scopes. As with coins, this is a "you get what you pay for" purchase, but if you don't expect too much out of...
I don't discuss my security setup on line, but in a couple of places I use 200 gram packs similar or identical to this one:...

Here's mine. On reciept of the coin, I actually convinced myself that the scratches were on the (Old PCI Green PR64) holder: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

First you claimed that the 105mm VR was "unusable" because you could do lighting setups with a bellows that you can't with the 105mm VR. And now...
Fair enough. I stand corrected.
In other words, you can't or won't post such a shot. And didn't you say you prefer not to use a setup which places a light between the lens and a...
"Severely limits" is more than a little bit of an exaggeration, as were your claims about working distance. In fact, the diameter of the 105mm is...
I have the PB-4 and I'm afraid I disagree with your conclusions. It's an older model, not a "lower" one. It is solidly built, operates smoothly...
The actual 1:1 working distances for the 105mm VR and the 85mm VR are 148mm and 141mm respectively. The working distance with a 75mm enlarger...
