Carlos, Beautiful photos. If there were any remaining doubters about the value of this level of light and magnification they can't be doubting
any more! A photo truly is worth a thousand words. Anyone that is able to buy a scope (I know many of the Rooters in less fortunate areas of
the world just can't do it, so they get a pass) and doesn't after seeing your photos is in fact accepting that he/she will occasionally miss
anatomy such as what you've demonstrated here. Such acceptance is inconsistent with doing the best for the patients - Mark
Why did you change to the 300mm objective lens Carlos? I'm 6' 3". I use a 250. Would I be better going to the 300? I know I'm taller than you.
Just curious - Mark
Mark I like the 300 mm lens to give me lower mag and more facial photography. Just a personal preference. The 250 is fine.
With the 300 you loose a lot of light....Carlos Murgel
Hi Carlos.................. great pics and good to see your post after a long time....believe me whenever i find extra canals
I am glad that did find them but at the same time I feel a bit insecure for what I have missed in all the other cases ( most of them fall
in this category) in absence of a scope - Sachin
Thanks Sachin, I need to confess that even with the microscope I miss some canals also...specially after seeing all the cases that

Great Pictures, Carlos. may I use them in a presentation about modern endo? Credits are guaranteed. - Jörg Schröder
Dear Carlos, As usual the photography you present is top notch! As you know I have the Kaps in our office since the Summit VI and I am still
strugling with it. Scope photography is not bad anymore, but nothing like yours. I will have to put the Canon 10D on the scope to get better
high ISO photos and of course a good parafocaling. I just can't parafocal the 950 very well.
There are many cases that can't be done without the scope. Today I had a case that I did in 1999 and misses a bifurcation in the D canal.
The case got infected and the way it looked I was sure it's cracked. There are many more like this. I will soon say more about the Kaps as
I know you asked me for a review some time ago. Probably after the weekend - Thomas
Good morning Thomas,
Send me some examples of your images so I can see what is going on. I have no experience with photographs with a Kaps.
Are you using the Carr II adapter?
You can not parafocal the 950! That is why you need a TV to see the image and when you have focus trigger the camera.
My pictures are not as good as they use to be mainly because now I am using a 300 mm objective lens and this makes
photography harder but I am happy with what I have. I am not the king of deep photography like Peter Endo or Terry -

P.S You see I am patient. Still want to see how you work on the right side with the mirror and without the rubber dam
Excellent post which reminded me of an exchange I had had once elsewhere - Bob
