Ocular lenses, PP Co Patt 18 telescope

[Peter Laidler]

I am about to have, say, 5 sets of these 1.1" dia approx ocular lenses made for these telescopes. Any takers before I start? No prices yet but will be flint & crown glass and identical to original of course.

Hi Pete. Count me in.

I'd be in - but could need more if they are interchangeable with the Australian scopes also?

[Lee Enfield]

Just the ocular lense?

[Peter Laidler]

Yep....... on the basis that those are all that I need! If you need other lenses you can have them made and do what I do. Get 5 or 10sets made to drastically reduce the cost, keep whet you need and sell the rest.

Talking of which.......... Who was it in Oz that needed a set of Tele Sct Regt OG lenses

ME have been wondering what happened to the parcel I returned unopened.

[Promo]

So, is it interchangeable?

[Peter Laidler]

Ain't got a clue Promo. But as they were made to the same drawings, I presume so. Bindi, pm sent. Any Australians know if the UK and Oz patt 18 ocular lens sets are interchangeable?

[tbonesmith]

I bought a set off Peter a few years ago and they worked fine in my Australian Pattern '18.

[Simon]

Yep, they are interchangeable.

As with any lense change you may have to adjust the focus ever so slightly that's all.
