They have a MgF2 coating for red.

I will update with Pictures as for the barrel as well the lens, if anything new comes up i will also update the post here.
Currently the lens are in stock, if we are to slow and don't get the number together it could mean we have to wait a lead time of 5 - 7 weeks for them to be manufactured.
Also Dave is making some more barrels so this number will be updated as soon they come in. For now its first come first serve. Please for questions or add your name, send me a PM or email me at anton@gmail.com... I will then be in contact to get address, and will provide payment details.

Best regards
Anton

I get back to you in a bit will ask Dave about it...

[steve-o]

Just curious; their price qty 1-49 is 17.70 usd. Why is 100+ 20.00?

[hivelaser]

There is shipping involved from the company to me with totals to about 1USD per lens... and i have to package it and so on... so if you think making a buck or two is to much then yeah what can i say... You are more then welcome to order directly from them

[edison]

Welcome to the wonderful world of hobbylasersists. Where only a few are greatful and but most people thinks that everything is to expencive. So he makes a few bucks so what, at least he tries to help people to the lenses Give him a break

Yep, Aixis or the diode housings I have - M9, 0.5mm threads.

[hivelaser]

Please provide me the address for international so i can calculate the shipping accordingly... PM are welcome...

Dave , is there any way of blackening the inside of the barrels ?
Is there a "shoulder" at the end of the barrel which can't be seen in the pic ?

I am assuming that the short fella is the retainer !

Cheers

[hivelaser]

Hi Anton,

Just to confirm, I need 12 lenses not the 14 as shown on the spreadsheet. Also, I have paid for and collected the 12 barrels I said I would from Dave directly.

Looking forward to getting the lenses!

I'd be interested in getting 10 x lenses as well

I'll get the barrels direct from Dave as well, so lenses only

Cheers
