LX10 secondary and housing needed
      #2069741 - 12/23/07 01:10 PM

I'm looking at an older LX10 not treated well . Believe it or not it's missing the secondary and all housing. Just a hole in the corrector. Does anyone know if this can be purchased anywhere?

Happy Holidays

usually the optical train is a matched set, Each piece matched so that the small errors in each are not increased.

Not at all confident that you will buy a secondary to suit and even one off another LX10 may give too much error.

Make sure its very very cheap
