I found a french source (http://www.lenaturaliste.net/forum/view ... =57&t=1141) listing off several with 58mm and 66mm thread size not sure how you would use the 66 without some sort of adapter considering buying a

LEICA PLAN APO 0.63X STEREO MICROSCOPE OBJECTIVE


CATALOG NUMBER 10447051

WORKING DISTANCE: 97MM

THREAD SIZE: M65

66M OUTER DIAMETER

if it would work well

any input appreciated I have only ever used the standard 1x plan wild objective and would like to try out some others

65mm thread objectives have an added 1.25x magnification on m50/m60 systems like the M8, so it would act as a ~0.78x. Leica plan apo stereo objectives are quite nice.
