Any chance they will make me better looking?

Anything will help... :-)

Finner, hope you stop by the Rio. You'll be surprised. And we'd all like to see you there.

So how about that price, Jim? ;-)

Something less than $20K for the set of 5. Don't look for massively less. When you see the mechanics and performance, the question will likely be "why not more".

I'll post the final price on Tuesday night before the Reduser party on Wed.

Our lenses are designed very specifically for the type and placement of our OLPF ...

This is very interesting...

Even though it was a stroke of genius to pull the OLPF away from the sensor (for reason of dust etc) I was concerned about other side effects. I've always wondered if the thickness and distance from imaging plane should be a calculated part of the optical formula (that images on the sensor). To my lay brain yes? But is this a significant yes?

Any less lay brains care to offer some coherent thoughts?

Yes. You'll see just how significant on Wed.

Jim, I'm just spitballing here, but knowing this crowd, I don't think that question will be asked.

It has already been asked by those that have seen the lenses...
