Looks like you scored another fine specimen. The first lens I had in mine was ok but not great. But I got another housed in the no ears cell and it truely is an awesome performer. Might be the best lens I own. Extremely happy with it. Good luck on yours. Bill -------------------- RV6 Meade 2045 6 inch f/4 RFT R.
