Lens repair shout out for those in the US

[Peter Laidler]

Warren, it's well known that I have been having runs of Patt 18 type, Scout Regt and No32 (especially OG's) lenses made for 15 years now. Very expensive, yes but you get what you pay for. The focal length of the new lenses is down to the glass being used. You could easily use lenses made from current readily avalable plastics. After all, that what spectacles are........ plastic lenses! But there are obvious drawbacks of course. Lens makers...... there's plenty of them. It's just finding one that will do a small run at a reasonable price. And when someone comes up with an optical repairer or lens maker, then more power to their elbow. The only big problem as I see it from my expensive experiences are those who don't step up to the plate when you've spent £1000 having 10 sets made. But they all sell - eventually
