Thanks for your help. I have one of these.[:D]

Cheers,

Zhang!
These UV lenses are built with quartz glasses. So, difficult to make, rare and naturally extreme costly. the shown lens is a 50 years old specimen. I believe this one is too pricey indeed.

Luiz, Zhang, I've populated the 3 Lens entries that Luiz had added. You can view them on the or you can download original Luiz's word DOC file..

Luiz, I did the best I could with these, the tables are pretty wide so on two of these entries it stretched the size horizontally pretty bad, but I think it's all right, the tables require it...

Vlad.

My best thanks in a magnificent job

I fixed the cutting off of the tables at the right edge in Internet Explorer... now tables fit completely.

Vlad.
