They are occasionally available on e-bay for about a thousand a piece. I ended up buying a used full frame Canon 5D II and using NFK 2.5x at a fraction of the cost.
Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
Still looking and interested. Also interested in a Olympus NFK 2.5x if anyone has one.
thanks
thanks

bump. Still looking.
Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
Another bump. Still need both.

There are two NFK 2.5x for sale on e-bay for $150.00 each by someone in California.

Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
Would an NFK 3.3x LD be of interest ?
... It seems perhaps rather contrived, but: presumably it would be possible to follow it with a [readily available] reducing relay.
Send me a message if you want to discuss.

Yeah, I saw those. But they are overpriced.microb wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 4:07 amThere are two NFK 2.5x for sale on e-bay for $150.00 each by someone in California.

This link (items sold on ebay) should give everyone a clearer idea of what the Olympus projection eyepieces go for.
Unfortunately the NFK 1.67x is rather rare and so does not to appear on the list which just goes back to February.

An average price for an nfk2.5 is $135 or so. An average price for the 1.67 is $600. Too high? That's the market price.

Damaged though.

Also ... whilst it’s shown and listed as an an LD,
the description goes on to tell us how special the L version was.

Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
I'm not saying you should buy that, but if you are trying to find an NFK 2.5x at less than market price you might need to take on some risks. Or just pay a little bit more for a known good.
Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
People who treat Ebay as if it were Amazon (i.e. instant gratification) are paying way over the odds. Patience is the key.

...and eBay's "Save this search" function is your friend.
Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
I have a Olympus NFK 3.3x LD with a SZ-PT if you are interested.
Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
I'm still interested if anyone has one.
Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
Still on the hunt...
Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
There's an NFK 2.5 just popped-up on e-bay - here's the link...
I've bought (and sold) from/to this seller - totally reliable, and no connection to myself of course.

Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
Just out of curiosity, what do you consider to be a reasonable price for the NFK 2.5x and NFK 1.67X?
Re: Wanted: Olympus NFK 1.67x or NFK 2.5x
Interesting question. Perhaps you can give us a range, from gritting your teeth and bearing it to ... dancing naked in the street!

The listing-link I posted earlier says that the listing 'has ended' - perhaps it's been snapped-up.
At £99 it's/was a pretty fair deal in my limited experience of the 'Olympian World' of microscopy...
