I guess 10:1 is a ratio of sorts.

Are there other crayfords?

James, a 10:1 is a Crayford that has a finer focus knob - I guess ten rotations of it equals one rotation of main focus knob. It won't come standard on these scopes. I haven't played with one yet. My regular Crayford works well, but very sensitive at highest magnification - just needs some practice.

I'm thinking of buying one from Bintel to replace mine - after I get some webcam photography happening!

Down to $119 - very tempting.
