Well mate, you will get a delight in using it. The collimation was spot-on, considering it made its way from japan to Sth. Aust. then up to Qld. It's built like a brick SH. Focusing is very critical as we talking in microns of a mil, so take your time in focusing, I use Nebulosity 3 or EOS BYE with the 60Da DSLR to get best focus then enlarge the image to 400%. You won't get razor sharp images at that rez but if you can get it as close as poz, a FF image you won't see any unsharp pixels. Now if only Tak made a bigger model.. like a 12, 16, 16, 18 or even a 20 inch F2.8.... What will you mount it on and what camera will you use. See you on the Yahoo group!
