Just wanted to say thanks for the quick turnaround on the lenses. I received the Triplet and Fresnel at 1pm EST. This weekend should be fun!!

Thanks again,

Great, how did the packaging survive? Everything arrive ok? We want to make sure our packing can take a beating.

Everything seems to be perfect. Box looks like you just folded it. Items were secure. Good idea placing the fresnels centered between the rolled paper.

Excellent, enjoy.

just got my optics today too. look great. i finally have every piece of the puzzle. time to get started. thanks

Recieved my triplet, and ordered my fresnels today...

Thanks Brainchild!!

I'm starting to get pretty jealous! I guess I'll get mine as soon as their cut.
I think we'll be seeing some great pictures soon!BUILD BUILD BUILD!!!!

Great, they're good lenses. If anyone wants to see how the triplet is arranged you can unscrew the aluminum ring from the back of the lens and disassemble it. Be careful with the glass optics they are very fragile especially along the edges. With those 3 lenses a telephoto zoom can be made

My box had a pretty good sized chunk taken out of one corner of it (3x3" maybe), thankfully the goods were intact. Good packing!

Man...

i got mine today too! thank you brain.
they arrived in fantastic condition.
i must say that these are better than i expected.
the fresnal is cool to play with.
the fres. has a sticker on it that says up, is this the direction to face the
projection lens?

Yes.

Big B

do you think there will be a 'kit' that we can pull our triplet apart and put the lenses into to get to the zoom-able setup? Maybe it would cut the upgrade price in half or so?

maybe it would require machine precision or something so we would not be able to swap the lenses into it

oh, I got my lenses. . . one end of the box was popped-open but all the contents were there.

No nothing like that, we just can't get a long focal length that way. Box popped open? Glad it all made it.

I would also like to say thanks for the quick shipping. From the time I ordered it to the time I got it was not but a couple of days. Thanks for everything you are doing. Keep it up
