He discarded the finder and ep's and even Complained about the backlash of the cheap focuser. Seems like he got himself a $555 dollar ed doublet and marginal OTA for that price. Just my opinion.

I'm willing to bet he got himself a $555 achromat same as any other, maybe a sharp well made one, but no ED glass in it.

In fact, I'll be willing to measure the color error on this lens if someone wants to send it here and report honestly what it is, or you can send it to Yuri at TEC and I know he will measure and report honestly.
