Pond Life Swimmer

Just got my Panasonic GX8 adapted to my AmScope T490B. Plan to adapt my Fuji x-H1 hoping the larger sensor will have less magnification.

I have no idea what this swimming condom thing is, or the swimming leaf, but it is certainly exciting to find these things.

I used the adapter described in this video:



He purchased this one, but it took a long time to arrive:

I found a used one on eBay so got it in a couple of days. These adapters have a lens assembly that fits in your eyepiece holder, then a T2 camera adapter to whatever camera mount you are using. I ordered a T2 to M4/3 adapter ring to use with my GX8. I’ve ordered a T2 to Fuji adapter to use with my Fuji X-H1.

Hope this helps!

And I've learned the swimming leaf is a Phacus.

So much to learn here.
