earlier Japanese built bluebirds (=generation 3 Stanzas) were available in 1986 in the UK.

message: Nissan Cefiro (A31) should NOT be considered as a direct replacement of Auster (T12) because :
1. A31 is significantly larger than Auster.
2. A31 is rear wheel drive and T12 is front wheel drive.  In late 80s, it is extremely unreasonable to change a mid size car from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive.
2. A31 should be the same grade as Nissan Skyline ane Nissan Laurel.  All these cars have similar size and rear wheel driver.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buhin (talk • contribs) 16:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Catadioptric sensor

message: Is this the same thing as a photographic catadioptric lens? If so, a merge is in order.--Srleffler 00:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends on what is termed "the same thing". A Catadioptric sensor is a Fisheye lens lens created by aiming a normal (dioptric) lens at a convex mirror (a catoptric device) making the combination "Catadioptric". The photographic catadioptric lens described at Catadioptrics is a telephoto lens using a combination of lens and mirrors usually in a cassegrain design. So a Catadioptric sensor is a "Photographic catadioptric lenses" but not the same design or use as the one in Catadioptrics. Could be merged in "Catadioptrics" under its own heading. Or Catadioptrics could be divested of all its design variants so it becomes a simple explanation of the term similar to Dioptrics and Catoptrics (to fulfill my love of symmetry) -- and all these variations could become their own articles.

Talk:Antipater of Sidon

replies: text: The cited Cicero reference doesn't mention Crassus at all as far as I can see. Brill's New Pauly says that he "lived from the 2nd to 1st cents. BC", and mentions a poem about the destruction of Corinth in 146 BC (though it does not say that they poem was composed soon after the event).  I have removed the reference to Crassus - I tried to look back through the article history to find if there was ever some other reason to mention him, but he was introduced with reference to the Cicero passage which does not seem to mention him so I think it must be an error.

Talk:Objective (optics)

message: I thought this edit's comment was odd, given that it was MrFloatingIP who added the reference to 160 mm in a previous edit. Anyway, no it is not a specific model that is being described. If I recall correctly, there are two kinds of microscopes. Traditional scopes take objectives that focus the image at the same position within the microscope tube (I presume this is 160 mm, but haven't verified this with any sources.) This standardization allows any traditional objective lens to be used on any traditional microscope. (The objectives all use the same mounting thread as well—the Royal Microscope Society (RMS) 0.8"-36 thread.) Many modern microscopes use a different scheme: the microscope is "infinity-corrected". In these systems, the objective doesn't form an image at all (the image is at infinity). An auxiliary lens inside the microscope tube forms the image.--Srleffler (talk) 00:11, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  160 mm 

message: WP:NCDAB indicates that natural disambiguation is prefereable to parenthetical, so an article title such as objective lens would seem prefereable to the current objective (optics).  Also, I think "objective lens" is a generally more recognizable name for a general audience. ENeville (talk) 15:47, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Objectives are not always lenses. As indicated in the lede, in many optical systems the objective is a mirror.--Srleffler (talk) 04:59, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Use of mirrors acknowledged. I think it's a matter of how we apply "lens". We have magnetic lens, with "lens" meaning a tool for focusing, and "lens" in general use meaning something that filters our perception. I don't want to advocate for novel terminology. It just seems that "lens" is understood in function beyond only dioptrics, and we do want to foster technical accessibility. ENeville (talk) 17:20, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
