Hi! My apologies. I should have been more specific and stated that this thread is only about lens shots and not refractor profiles.

Would have loved to have heard the twin Tak - and why you need them - conversation.

Hi Scott. I know the feeling about missing a scope that falls into the "used to own" category.

Here is a glass shot of one of mine...or ugh, what used to be one of mine.

The lens ring says it all. : (

Here I am, at the lens-end of my modest APO Refractor Quintuplet. Igor snapped this candid daguerreotype, mere days before I fired him, for always inviting me to "Walk this way." Tom

Matt,

Have you tried the Riedel Performance line wine glasses? They use Schott water white glass, amazing stuff!
