    Re: New 75mm Hypergon Lens

    Ic that looks like a great result! Thanks for having faith in this (vintage optic repro) project...being brave and thoughtful in making specific and meaningful tweaks - and sharing with us results along the way!

    And yes, while I do understand the sentiment regarding the necessity for well established companies whose customers might rely on their products working reliably and "as advertised," I also understand very well (all too well!) what it takes for an individual, who may not have a well established reputation nor an association with an equally well established and reputable company, and who furthermore may not have the very deep, deep pockets which such an endeavor often requires...to forge ahead with a product like this out of pure passion and belief that it is nontheless and important and significant effort - even if the product itself might not be completely perfect on the initial go round!

    Having said the above, I do also agree that this product could probably have undergone a more thorough regimen of testing prior to making it available to the rest of us. This could have been done very efficiently and without undue expense, although there would undoubtably be some time and expense involved in performing any necessary fixes "in house."
