ACROMAT for colour photography

Hi Tony,
I forgot to reply to your post re Pix. Mods. yes very good, im waiting for the final Beta or version, to see what he comes up with in IP, The Acromat is not as sharp as an ED scope as regards focussing either, well it cant be even with the Fringe Killer filter, as the colours dont all arrive in phase, bit like a prisim, but if you cant afford an ED or apochromat you can get acceptable results, what id like to see is an ED 102mm at F5 or less (if ED glass will still work at this range) would give a great FOV and more light gathering.

cheers....Jim
