    Depth of Skirt on a Wista 5x Loupe?

    Hi all. I bought a Wista 5x Standard Focusing Loupe (the one that comes with a clear skirt for viewing prints and a black skirt for viewing the ground glass) second-hand from that auction site. The seller neglected to mention that it was missing both skirts. That means that in order to focus it on the glass, I have to hold it a couple of centimeters away. I have been having a reasonable amount of success focusing in this way, but frankly, it's a pain in the ass. Could anybody out there give me the length/depth of the skirt rings so that I can fabricate a spacer tube?

    As always, your help is very much appreciated!

    Just to follow up, I went by the local camera shop and got the measurements for the skirt.

    Length (End to End): 23.15 mm
    Length (End to Base of Threads): 18.55 mm
    Thickness of Tube Walls: 3.50 mm
    Inside Diameter: 24.25
    Outside Diameter: 30.65
    Outside Diameter (of threaded section): 28.75

    Probably not useful to anybody else, but thought I should post the follow-up to save anybody else the trouble.
