:nana: Long time lurker turned member. Tons of way over my head information here. I like that.....it means I have much to learn!!
As per the title.....I'm on a quest. Not with out having searched, found and subsequently been snuffed out in all of my attempts to find and purchase an Aspherical for a C/D cell Mag Lite. I'm not looking to go over the top with my build, but this lens, being ever elusive, is becoming more of a quest than simply making a purchase. I went to all the suggested sights I could find by the members in their posts here and thought I had secured my lens via Kaidomain with a seemingly successful purchase, only to have my paypal payment refunded to me the next day with no explanation. So I went to the Kai web sight, searched my purchases and waddaya know.....out of stock.
So.....I don't wish to spend 5 times the cost of the Mag-Lite, so a lens for a camera that just happens to fit isn't appealing to me in the least. Are there any current suppliers with this item in stock for say......less than a testicle (30 bucks) who is reliable and preferably in the USA????
I exhausted a solid 3 hours yesterday searching and researching, only to come to the conclusion, that either I am not worthy of one of these lenses OR....One of you fine fellows was meant to assist me and I was just being bull headed in not coming here to ask sooner.
I've enjoyed reading posts from the sidelines for some time now, although I must admit, that my eyes do tend to glaze over when the technical jargon goes beyond, battery, bulb, lens, on off switch...lol...I know, I know...and no...I'm not a Neanderthal.....Just a slow and determined learner taking in little bits at a time as to keep from overloading!!
So, what say you gentlemen? Any help would be appreciated. I've seen some FINE Mag-Lites on here with some more than impressive modifications. I hope to learn much as time goes on and thanks to the CPF community for all I've learned so far.
Cheers!!
