Thanks Daz.
I'm just a novice amateur and a bit frustrated with all the bad conditions lately.
Hey, going from a 4" Tasco to a 10" Mead LB

is it for me as far as flash gear goes, for a long time to come. I will try to improve things to get the best out of it. That is why I am interested in the possibility of improving the optics. The rest is okay or stuff that I can make or fix my self.
Cheers
Richard
