Subject: Large achromat (150mm) vendors needed


I have a need for several AR coated 150mm (or 152mm or 6") Achromatic
lenses in the F6 to F13 range. This is a non-astronomical application,
and I'm not tied into the amateur astro network, so need some help
locating sources. I figured this was the place to ask. I've done what
I can with Google searches of the web and groups and have some good
leads, but have found that their availability in stock at a reasonable
price (~$500) for this size it limited. I don't have time to have them
made at D&G; their lead time is measured in months. Any URL's would be
appreciated. I would consider cannibalizing Optical Tube Assemblies for
sale too if the price is right (used, say). Thanks.

Edward,
Our stuff may be considered junk to some, but in fact we have the
largest assortment of surplus optical components probably in the world
and the capability of arranging production quantities at very
competative pricing.

Regarding your need for 6" objectives: We get a small quantity of
precision 6-1/4" air spaced mounted achromatic objectives f/10 made for
us by a company in the Ukrane that makes only precision optics. I
believe we have 10 or 15 due in about 30 days. They sell for $465
each. If you have an interest, send us an e-mail at
sales@surplusshed.com.
