Anyone have the link to the fellow who builds these, just reviewed here on Astromart? I know he used to be an Astromart sponsor, with his own web site offering up to 11"F5 achromats in his distinctive wood tubes.

The 8" achromat lens at 2000 is a steal if they are good, he used to show RMS numbers that were quality lenses. At one time he quoted the price for the 11", but doesn't look like its happening.
