SMLE Lattey sight

[Peter Laidler]

I did the Patt '18 oculars and the Scout Reg OG's Wheaty and sold them all in reasonable time. I took a page and advice out of another forumers book and after each one had sold, I put the price of the next set UP. After all, there's less of 'em now!

The trouble is that with getting 10 or so sets the price is high but who needs to be sat on 25 sets, when the price would come tumbling down.

Incidentally, it might interest budding lens makers, that I asked a lens maker to make some sets of lenses out of optical/spectacle grade plastic that could easily be coated. The convex side was very pronounced to cater for the single material they were made from instead of the usual flint and crown glass spec. They LOOKED good but wouldn't pass the 'fastness' and 'scatter' test on the optical bench and they scratched too easily too. I'm rambling on a bit now but.................
