Optolong waits
For anyone who has ordered any Optolong filters and been told of the wait due to factory relocation, I was just informed by Optolong my L-Extreme will ship on the 9th. That's been a month and 5 days since I paid for it.
I notice one of the local dealers (at a MUCH higher price) is saying 15th.
I guess these pre-orders will sell out fast, so if you want one, I'd suggest getting in quick before this btch is sold out.

Anyone getting shipping advice on the l-Extreme? I posted on Optolong Facebook, they removed it.
The deadline of the 25th is rapidly approaching - I won't be extending my patience beyond that now and will insist on a refund.

Was informed Optolong cannot fulfil orders for an indeterminate time period, so was given a complete refund tonight.
Onwards and upwards...

Oh no!
I have a huge FLO order on backorder, with the L-Extreme the only thing holding it up. Sounds like it isn't going to ship any time soon

Yep, they will hold it til all is in stock... I waited and waited for a baader focuser and then just cut it loose and the rest of it was in my hands within a week.

Did they make you cancel and re-place the entire order? Or just refund you the value of the focuser?

They can do both. I just cancelled the whole thing and put in a new order... i'd changed my mind slightly on another item, so that was the best solution.
