This guy is well known, but it's always good to see smeone putting the link up where we can get at it. His results are sometimes controversial in the sense that some people take issue with his test procedures. When that happens the discourse quickly begins to sound like an optics class at Cal-Tech.

This is a brilliant web site for optics tests. Not
only reflectors, but APOs, achros, MCT, SCT, etc.
Good to re-post it now and then.
