Let me start by saying that I have never handled an MBC-10 but I do know a little about LOMO. In the latter days of the USSR it used to make and supply fine quality optics to the Sov army. More recently it has turned its considerable experience in the field to the manufacture of civil optical equipment. I have and like A BELOMO x10 loupe.The lens quality is as good as any in the world - but the finish on the metal-work and the paint-job (yes, that's right, paint-job!) leave a great deal to be desired. Looking at the detailed views of the MDC-10 design, this too seems to have some quality issues. A read of the following may interest you. http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html?http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artdec06/rp-mbs10.html
With regard to the 'green cast' you see. I assume that you have removed the green filter from the O/H lamp-housing? Note too the comments in the above article about crappy Russian lamps and the benefit from replacing these? Do this and you can choose your colour temperature. I don't believe that the optical system will introduce a colour-cast but this is something you can easily prove/disprove fr yourself.
