Re: Wild M420

Hello Graybald,

Thank you very much for your informative post.

The optical path is pure vertical.
Yes, this is exactly why I want to use the M420 module I have
available - I don't know how I managed to include stereo in my post,
probably because I'm usually trying to get images from a stereo stand!
Of course, the superb M420 zoom is nice to have....

...aperture diaphragm is in the viewing head, so you need to consider how
you are going to do something similar to control depth of field.
I'm OK with this as I have spare diaphragms that can be mounted in
custom machined parts.

However, the relay optics between the Makro zoom module and the camera
may be more of a challenge?
I may not have been explicit, but I do not have a viewing head.

an ISO photo tube.
This is a simple tube without optics, but well specified diameter, etc
- correct?
