This is an outstanding lens handmade in the USA by D&G Optical. It has simple magnesium fluoride (MgF2) coatings and is in excellent condition. It is 14 years old, I bought it new in 2006. These lenses are no longer available new and always had a long wait time when they were available. The new replacement price is $995 USD plus postage and Aus GST.

The focuser is an Astro Physics 2.7" in good condition that I purchased second hand. It is single speed and an ideal match for this lens.
I would like to sell the lens and focuser together as a package for $1650 AUD. This will include postage to Australian capital cities.
If you are in Perth then you are welcome to inspect it and instead of postage I will include the basic wooden tube without finder or dovetail plate. I do not want to post the wooden tube as it is over 2 metres long. I reviewed this lens and telescope with a different focuser shortly after I first used it.

Please contact me by PM if you are interested. I am in no rush to sell and am open to discuss a deal.
These items are now sold.
