Learning that doublet apo with steeper curves that matches triplet
in color correction has more potential for decentering. I think I'll keep my triplet and re center the lens myself. The reason I can't send my TMB triplet to the manufacturer is because I have to spend huge on shipment (back and forth half a world away), recentering charges (which runs into hundreds of dollars), and when it'd be reshipped to me, I have to pay 50% taxes in my country so I'd be spending more than $1000 total (and not to mention the possibility of it getting decentered again in its trip back to me as shipment workers sometimes just toss package up the air). That said. I'm willing to spend $500 on buying tools that can enable me to recenter the TMB triplet myself (It fell to the ground from 1 meter above when I put the luggage case in a big rock at an angle). So where do I begin. What intruments must I need? Such as Ronchi, Laser aligner, Lens distance spacer, etc. Who among you have recentered a lens on your own? I presume the lens cell has a spacer guide so I don't need to know what is the distance between the lenses. Recentering the elements with a common axis would be enough. Because I travel a lot with the triplet put in the airline compartment. There would be many more days when it would get decentered from unusually big shock. So I want to learn to recenter it myself. If anyone can recommend a book on fixing apo lenses and recenter. I'd greatly appreciate it too. Thanks. opti |
