I recently picked up an early Deft on the forums so Im selling my pre paid Deft that is ready for delivery from Saabluster. Selling for the same price I paid for $445 but without the wait.
Thank you.

Note from the Saabluster:
This is just a note to the last 10 on the DEFT Enthusiast list who are waiting on their lights.
I have a new development on the lens front. As you know I am constantly trying to improve my quality and processes. In that vein I have found a better means of manufacturing the main lenses. The new lenses outperforms even the last update to the lenses when I added the AR coat. The only thing is that with this new method I am no longer able to apply the AR coat for technical reasons. The new lens has much less aberration and a more collimized beam across the spectrum. Since I sold you the light with the expectation of receiving an AR coated lens I feel you deserve the opportunity to choose.
I do not have any hard numbers to show you as I just finished the new molds but a side to side comparison shows there is definitely an improvement in throw with the new design. You paid good money for your lights and although it means I have to throw away some of the lenses already made I want you to get the best that I can offer.
I thank you all for your patience and support. -Michael
