Rene -- thanks for the recommendation! I'm teetering on the brink of
buying a LOMO (for my own education and my school-going daughter's), but
saw some comments on the web (microscope reviews are sorely lacking!)
that variously describe the LOMO's as "1950's designs", mechanically
inconsistent etc.

I was looking to buy a BMH4-BF (binocular multiscope). Do you have any
experience with this line of product? Any details greatly appreciated!
