Paterson Micro Focus Finder Scope

Developing your own film is an incredibly rewarding experience, and the Paterson Micro Focus Scope makes it easier than ever. This small, darkroom-friendly scope allows you to accurately focus on your film while developing, ensuring perfect results every time. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced photographer, the Paterson Micro Focus Scope is a must-have tool for any darkroom.

The eyepiece is adjustable for individual eyesight and the lens is adjusted by carefully moving the eyepiece up and down, utilising the crosshair built into the finder, until the cross hairs become sharp. The eyepiece is then locked into position, and the locking screw provided is used.

The Micro Focus Finder provides a highly magnified image which snaps into and out of sharp focus and is bright, even at large magnifications. It is 6in (15cm) high and adjustable for individual eyesight. A shutter protects the mirror when not in use and a lens cap protects the high quality lens.

Key Features:

  • The Paterson Micro Focus Scope is perfect for detailed close-up photography.
  • The eyepiece is adjustable for individual eyesight.
  • Allows the grain structure of the negative to be brought into sharp focus as the picture is adjusted before exposing the printing paper.

Develop your own film and see your photos come to life in the darkroom with the Paterson Micro Focus Scope. This handy tool enlarges your negatives by up to 400% so you can get the perfect shot, every time.

Sebastian S. ★★★★★

The eyepiece is just bright enough that I can finally see the grain structure without squinting through a loupe, and it's compact enough to leave sitting right on my enlarger baseboard. For the price, it's done more for my print sharpness than any lens I've bought in years.

Jacob E. ★★★★★

The magnifying lens is surprisingly clear and bright, making it easy to spot dust specks on my negatives. This scope has definitely sped up my scanning workflow.

Claire S. ★★★★★

Switching to this scope was a game-changer for my darkroom workflow. The built-in magnifier lets me clearly see grain detail, and it stays put on the enlarger without slipping.
