Hey Thomas,

(apologies for the user name change; had to switch to a new account due to signing up with a short username vs. my full name)

We're located in Los Angeles. When Panavision tested the Lenses, they said they were some of the best they'd ever seen -- below is their diagnostic report:

1. 18mm Serial #6724119: This lens was well corrected with no apparent axial aberrations. The floating element was well corrected and it exhibited proper field correction.

2. 25mm Serial #6724220: Mechanically, this lens was bottoming out at the close focus position. Upon closer observation, the lens failed lens projection testing due to it's floating element cell being in the incorrect position. Other than the floating element being out of adjustment, the axial corrections of this lens are well balanced.

3. 3. 35mm Serial #6621942: Mechanically this lens was in good shape. There was, unfortunately, a fairly strong image tilt and field curvature present in the lens. There was no indication of axial coma as the source of the problem so it is pretty safe to assume the problem is within the concentricity of the groups.

4. 50mm Serial #6752615: This lens was in great shape both optically and mechanically.

5. 80mm Serial #6723986: Mechanically, this lens was in good shape. Optically, there was some axial coma and axial astigmatism present. These aberrations started to manifest themselves on the 1/2 and full field performance of the lens. Also, there was some coationg deterioration present within the objective of the lens.

Please don't hesitate to PM or email with any further questions.

anyone know why this guy was banned? I'm guessing the lack of real name?
