Eagerly I set up and got these captures >>> Taken at 16.42ut with my SM40 @ f30, DMK31 I then thought I would chance a high mag shot, so stacked the 3x barlow with the 1.6x nosepiece. I'm not sure how exactly barlow lens combinations add up so wont hazard a guess at what f ratio I was operating at. I think focus is ever so slighly soft on it, maybe. Taken at 16.54ut with my SM40, 3x & 1.6x barlows stacked, DMK31. Hope you like them! Comments always appreciated!
