<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 836175, member: 15199&quot;]I also use this method with a B &amp; L binocular stereo zoom obtained 30 years ago at a lab sale, and let me add some enhancements to look for when buying such a scope. If you take care of it, you will probably never need to replace it for your needs. If the gears are metal, hey will outlast you. In less expensive scopes the gears are plastic or nylon and require more care. The B&amp;L and others are designed for labs, and can take a little abuse. Buy a scope that uses standard 23mm eyepieces, so you can buy others that will fit.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. You can buy a stereo zoom scope such as .7-3.0X, which with 10X eyepieces (standard) will give you a magnification of 7x-30x. But this will not give you a whole half dollar through a digital camera lens, but if you buy at least one 5X eyeoiece to shoot through , you now have a 3.5X -15X magnification.&nbsp; There are other eyepieces available.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. On this scope one eyepiece is diopter variable +/- so you can set up the lens so if one eye is near sighted or farsighted, you can adjust to use the scope without your glasses. Doesn&#039;t help astigmatism.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
