I ended up with a bunch of 4x objectives I can't use, so I will give them away to any interested folks here. Note that to mount these on a camera or bellows you will need adapters, which I don't have extras of. If you're interested, let me know what you want to put the objective on, and I'll suggest an adapter you can purchase on eBay (if it's possible).

I would ship the objective in small bubble envelope by USPS first class package, so I would ask folks to cover cost of postage and envelope, probably ~$5.

The quality of these is very good in the center, but they are starting to get a little fuzzy in the corners. They are great for showing variety details in the middle of the image.

For folks who already have the RMS adapter, this is a no-brainer, but for folks new to using objectives it may a good way to get started.

PM me if interested.

Hope they get on these. Wont beat this deal anywhere. It's what I use for my close ups of the RPMs and even my avatar if anyone is wondering. Thank you Ray

Ray, Would it work with my Tominon 50mm I have on your setup?

You would need two adapters. Your setup has an M40 threading for the Tominon. You need a T-mount threading for the bellows (which I can provide) and a T-mount to RMS adapter for the objective (which would come from eBay). I usually prefer cone-shaped adapters like this one:

but you could also go with a flat adapter like this one:
