I think the quantity, and hence price, that Lee was referring to was for
institutions doing large telescope mirrors and such. Deffinately pricy
enough to scare one off in those quantities.
I have a small 'starter pack' which cost UKP 9 or about us$12. It is a
bit expensive but that small quantity has been sufficient to do a few
lenses.
Compared to the cost of replacement elements or the lowering of
re-sale value from 'cleaning' marks it probably is not that expensive.
