higher magnifications with a M4/3 camera on a Leica M420?
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 4:28 pm
On my Leica M420 I use directly a M4/3 Panasonic GX80 body, just fixed with an adapter (a 38mm tube fixed in a Olympus M4/3 bayonet ring), on top of the original makroscope photo tube (see pictures)
But if I want to get higher magnifications, without using a specific Leica/Wild M420 add-on (1.5x or 2x objectives put under the Apozoom), would it be possible to use a photo eyepiece put in the phototube itself ?
This photo tube with white "1.25x" writing is empty (no photo eyepiece inside) in my M420.
But if I'm not wrong, I think to have seen special photo eyepiece designed for this makroscope, But I don't know if they could be used with a M4/3 camera body alone!
Anybody already used such photo eyepiece for M420 makroscope, with a M4/3 camera body?
And are there different models, giving different magnifications?
Thank you for your help.
