Leica Gia

#1 Post by kkokkolis » Sun Apr 21, 2024 4:17 pm

Hello!
I'm in stereoscopy, I only have a Bresser Researcher ICD for a decade.
There's a chance I may buy a Leica Gia for a good price.
It's a gemological stereoscope.
Do you know if it is capable of general use?
I like to see artifacts, insects, sand, gems, rocks etc.

It would not be a good fit. Its sample jolding and ergonomics are meant specifically for gem usage. You can repurpose it to a limited extent but it would not be ideal and you'd be paying a lot extra for features you won't use.
