Surplus Shed Aspherics

[^Gurthang]

Has anyone ordered any aspheric / DCX lenses from Surplus Shed? I see they stock some nice lenses that would fit in a M@G and a few that could fit in various sized lights. Just curious as to the overall quality and customer service.

I have ordered many lenses from them. I think I have a total of 6 or 7 orders with them before I just gave up. I have never, I repeat, never had them send an order that was entirely correct. I kept having to send them back on my dime. They are officially the worst company I have ever dealt with. That said their prices are so incredibly low that it makes it hard to resist. I say it is a good place to shop if you just want to experiment but don't count on them if you need the parts for a running concern.

Saab,

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm mainly interested in getting some "mess around" optics. Guess its time to give them a try....

I've never had an order be wrong, but my orders were generally under 10 items so it's not difficult to get those right. I have ordered many aspheric/PCX lenses from them in various sizes and FLs to mess around with. For $30 you can get a whole bunch of various sizes and see what works. And as an added bonus an aspheric out of focus makes one tough lens without changing the beam shape much.
