[Laser] Large Melles lenses available cheap

[J. Forster]

A few days ago, I posted an alert for a nice looking lens on eBay. I have
purchased a few and the seller tells me that he has well over 100 left. Here is
the info:

Melles Griot uncoated convex lens 01 LDX 223  It is currently selling at their
site for $92.00.
FOCAL LENGTH: 200 mm, Diameter: 100 mm.  

The auction listing can still be viewed at: 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2923989108

He was looking for $7/ea. If you are interested, please contact Jack Chase
directly (off list) at:

"Jack Chase" <jack@chasedata.com>

Please DO NOT contact me. I have no beneficial interest in this, other than
having bought a few to play with.
IMO, these would make nice optics for a laser link and could be easily mounted
in the end of a piece of 4" plastic drain pipe.
