Hi all, just spotted a really good deal on e-bay from a fellow from whom I have purchased many items. He's 100% reliable and honest in my experience.
Anyway, he's selling a set of three Leitz objective for £75 or offer for the three. It's a nice set of x2.5, x4 and x40 objectives.
The reason I've flagged it up is the fact that it includes a x2.5 objective! I have the exact-same objective and have found it invaluable for giving me that extra field of view beyond that of the usual x4....
It works perfectly with the same settings as the x4, i.e. field and aperture diaphragms fully open and condenser 'top-lens' swung out - just as when using a x4 objective.
Here's a link to the listing.....
