I plan to attend NEAF, and would like to purchase it from you there. One question- do you remember the optics/cool down issue that some of the 80/600 cells had? Has LOMO addressed this? Or is it a matter of lens cell tightness? I still live in Boston (with some cold nights!), you know... Thanks!

Only 97 strehl? Heck...I wouldn't even bring a scope with such embarrassingly low numbers.

Has LOMO addressed this? Or is it a matter of lens cell tightness?" Can you elaborate on this a bit? as I just purchased a used MW 80/600. I believe that it was produced in 02, and was unaware of any cell problems with these scopes. Makes me wonder if it might be a potential issue with mine.

Markus explained that it could be fixed by adjusting some screws within the cell. But I am now wondering if LOMO has addressed this or not, or if it was necessary to. In any case, though, the views through the 80/600 lens set are the sharpest and highest quality I have ever seen through any telescope, period. Which is why I am going to get another one!

The Pinch issue was in 1 single shipment only, we found it, and it was fixed by LOMO It has been only a few of very many lenses see you at neaf Markus Post Extras:       jtpowers more clever in the first place Reged: 11/03/05 Loc: Cambridge, MA Re: NEAF Wish List for APM-America [Re: APM M.Ludes]       #3005842 - 03/26/09 01:45 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Great news on all fronts, Markus.
