Comparing 10x Objectives

Here is a comparison between my Nikon M Plan that cost me £100, and then a photo of one that cost me £50

 

The left photo is at slightly more than 10x using a Nikon 10x 0.25 - 160/- Microscope objective.

 

Now, noticible difference creek in at 100% such as CA on the left ( see crop below and comparison ) and also softness...

 

When viewing normally, these differences will not be noticible at all so I have seemed to have got an absolute bargain with this 10x, but nevertheless I will be selling it as my M plan is much much sharper.

 

( If anyone is looking to buy a 10x, contact me )

 

Overall, I think the bargains are good for a certain measure but when you ( like me ) want sharp details even at 100% then they just don't cut it... More examples to come using the 4x which I will also be selling for a Chromatic Nikon one !

 

Comparing is easier through this larger and original image www.flickr.com/photos/sequentialmacro/8110513919/sizes/k/...

( Ignore left photo out of focus bit, I missed a bit but didn't realize till I was stacking )

 

Have a great week all, these images will be up to view at full tomorrow as they alone are the sharpest I've done yet !
