6mm EP or not....
Anyway (easy)to tell if it is correct?
My 130p Heritage came with the stock 25mm and 10mm plossls. I thought I'd get a 6mm to go with it and it arrived today from Australian Geographic. This would give me magnifications of 26x 65x and 108x.
The first thing I noticed was how heavy it was compared to the stock ones, which seemed to be a good sign to me. When put side by side it is also longer than the 10mm.
It's raining today so I tried it out quickly on the balcony with stuff in neighbours gardens like gates, chairs, kids toys and TV antennae. You can easily tell the difference between the 25 and 10 (39x) but with the 10 and 6mm (difference of 108-65= 44) I can't really see much, if any difference, apart from a whole heap better image and contrast. Am I missing something, is it an optical illusion or did I spend too much time in Irish Murphy's before coming home.
So as I don't know anything about optics is there a way to tell the focal of each EP?
Cheers!
