Hi Bob,
Since I am still handicapped in vision, and you are the only responder,
I will take your word for it. Perhaps, when the other eye is done, and
I have some new reading glasses, I will be able to grasp those
differences. However, I have been amazed at the rendition I got with a
doublet lens from two centuries back, one that is equipped with, of all
things, rotating Waterhouse stops. :-)
