Since there has been so much talk about quality, gentleman agreements and factory seconds, I thought that as Jim suggested, let's take a look at the actual test of the optic that came with my new Apogee APO. Hopefully this will settle the allegations that this is not Lomo's best. If you feel that way, please post the test that came with your Lomo optic from another source that we can compare. For comparison, please look at this web page: http://forum.astronomie.de/phpapps/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=326292
This gives interferograms for similar objectives of other brands.

Note that the pictures in the link are not interferograms.
Also, is the measured RMS value on the LOMO report written over a White-Out or is this an aberration of my eyes wink ?
