Dust in new Coma Corrector
Hi guys,
I just took delivery of an ASA 0.73x coma corrector/reducer, pretty happy when it arrived.
However having looked thru the corrector at white and black sheets of paper, there is obviously dust and very small flecks (fibre's) on the internal element surfaces.
At quick count without looking too hard, there would be about 10 specks easily visible. A more thorough inspection would probably reveal more.
Surely these things are put together in clean rooms?!!
On top of this, the objective element was rattling in the body, I was able to gently apply a quarter turn on the threaded retaining ring to bed it home.
My question is... should I be concerned? Will these have an affect on contrast etc?
As much as I would hate to have to do it, should I be returning it to Europe for a replacement?
I would try taking a photo(s) but don't like my chances of getting anything usable.
