WTB Olympus LWD 40X

#1 Post by arb566 » Fri Jan 08, 2021 3:56 am

Hello All,
I'm looking for an Olympus LWDCplan 40X 0.55 for an old IMT inverted. Would consider viable alternatives.

Cheers, Al.

I’ve got one I need to rehouse-in very good condition-I’ve moved over to one of the other big four...I actually got it for my CK-1 but the condenser is really only powerful enough up to about 200x-so hardly used it-I nearly got an IMT-1 also cos I liked the idea of that fat phase stick thingie that turned ordinary objectives into phase objectives-but ended up getting a Labovert instead-it’s in very nice condition and spring head moved nicely and correction collar is butter smooth -Optics have no defects-looks hardly used.PM me if you want to discuss rehousing.
Regards ross

Just remembered can’t post photos from eBay but this is the Nikon that may be an alternative-this is the DIC version-

Thanks Ross,
Looks interesting, I'll check into it and see if it would be close to parfocal and work with the olympus CK occulars.
