The first time I personally seen M-57, was through a then new (1968)

Now you have me intrigued! I wasn't aware that EdScorp produced long
focus refractors in anything larger than 3" ... then I googled and
found this beauty.

Do you know if that was something they produced in Barrington? Was it a
rebranded Jaegers or Japanese scope?



Wow! That is one long tube. I wonder if the Japanese were making
scopes for US distribution back in 1968. No memory, one way or the other.
