LOMO DF-1

Winthrop · Guest

My recent request for additional option information for the DF-1 was followed by a phone call by a LOMO representative. He suggested upgrading to OI-35 Kohler Illumination accessory if I had already properly aligned the present system and was not satisfied with the results, but would accept return of the DF-1 if that was my decision.
Thank you. That's good customer service.

I decided to keep the DF-1 because I know the quality that goes into LOMO products, and I trust the advice I receive. After another re-alignment, placement of the DF-1 with immersion oil, and a drop of live blood on a slide with cover glass, I was amazed with the results!
With the 40x objective things lit up like a christmas tree with clarity and depth I never expected. For most amateurs this would be enough, but not for me. I like to make videos of my observations, and the low light level does not allow for quality video......so, I just sent in my order for the Kohler OI-35 from OpticsPlanet.com, where I originally purchased the microscope.

Thanks again for the great service.
