Well... Um... not really an outright five finger discount deal but...
It was for what I think was a REAL good price. I think its a old Nikon Optiphot? with
BD Plan DIC objectives. One was missing, the 100x DIC, its stated as (dry) is safe to say its
a oil less objective?
It was a Kijiji deal, the guy was a real jerk from the very beginning to the last min, maybe he got wise to his low price and as I was in the car at 9am on a Saturday driving there when we decided a time to meet he text me this beauty...
"I dont know whats wrong with it! its not working! im not going to sell it like this... let me figure out whats wrong with it and Ill get back to you later on in the week."
Needless to say, I was gonna snap.... less then 2 min away from the meet location thats what Im reading, You know that saying, I seen red? Oh yeah.... anyway, I had to calm down if I had any chance to get this thing.
I had to be careful and not play too strong and give him an easy excuse to not sell..cuz Id piss him off. SO... I had to play on the sympathy side and broke him down... I gave him BS galore.... DUDE I drove here from over 2 hrs away!... I took the day off today and LOST double time Hrs to finnish our deal.... What am I gonna tell my Son that im buying this for now???
Anyway, shorter story...no blood was shed on that day and after about 10 min of a tactful guilt session LOL!!!....... Finally here it is!
Im very happy with it so far and have viewed some things with it as is... just getting used of it. But I have a few questions: Since the 100x was not there AND that small part that slides in the front of the scope i THINK its called an Analyzer.... is that polarized glass that is used there, or something else?
Is it the DIC objectives that need the Analyzer to work or is it the little things you can slide in and out of the objectives? Forgive me I dont know what they are called.
I just want to make sure I know what I got/need to make DIC work properly with this setup. And I havent found much info on that particular Analyzer and the little slide thingys above the objectives, Im not quite sure I even know 100% the scopes actual name lol so sad!
Thanks a bunch for any Info in advance!
