I have an old Minolta 100-200mm zoom. I might try that when I finally have an infinite objective.

Amscope have had both the 4X and 10X infinites on sale recently, you could get both for under $100.00.

In the meantime, if you have the Raynox 150 and 250, try them individually and also stacked on the Minolta zoom. It provides mags ranging from 0.49X to 4.09X.

Minolta 100-300 mm zoom at 300 mm plus Raynox 150 & 250 Mag = 4.09X Wing scales of Madagascar sunset moth. Chrysiridia rhipheus

Best......

I'll probably end up going with the turnkey Raynox package from Wemacro.

I'll be very interested in your impressions when you get it. I'm interested in their Vertical and horizontal stand.

From what I've heard, the Wemacro stand is very good. Since I live in a cracker box of an apartment, across the street from a busy interstate highway, I needed something far more substantial, in my case aluminum profile mounted on an 18" x 24" x 5/8" steel plate.

These are the lenses I'm using;

Both are currently on sale!

Best.
