Thanks for the warning. I am well aware of the dangers of irresponsible optics cleaning. I am NOT planning to clean the objective every week :-). I have...
We reordered baffles about two months ago and when they arrived, they appeared to be the same size but a few people have found them to be ever so slightly...

There's another way without using paint. Get a 2" diagonal, and a 48-46mm step down ring. Then, get a 46-37mm step down as well. Thread these onto your...
