At 7X - about 15X, it would work good for taking detailed pics. I'd go for the optional ring light.

This is the one I bought a while back. I just haven't had time to sit down and figure everything out yet.

I opted for the binocular scope with camera and darkfield illumination.

Lighting is has always been an issue for me and I like all the attachments made for scopes.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
