Thanks Roland & AP. A beautiful piece of equipment. The focuser is heavenly, smooth "like butta". Looking at the coatings (I know, they're meant to look throught, but that'll come later), they seem very, very good. If I didn't know it was air spaced I'd swear the lens was a solid hunk of glass.

The baffle in the dew cap is at the very front, and covers the lens cell when closed.

Very nice! It will be at least 2-3 years before my name comes up on the list... One thing doesn't look right though, in the first picture there is a stong reflection from the flash to the dew-shield, to the lens and right back to the camera. I can see that the dew-shield is baffled but why is it so shiny?(anodized aluminum?) It should be painted flat black.

oren.
