Since we are on the topic, how do you clean the inside of an AR coated crystal? Can you scratch it or make marks on the coating?

cwai you know a lot, maybe you can help me with my next lotto purchase.

BTW, where is cwai01? I´d like to meet the other one..

You won't scratch the crystal for removing the AR coating. You only dip the crystal in the chemcial and then wash it with water. The AR coating will be soluted in the chemical.

I did some reserach on AR coating. Most of the AR coatings are done in the lab.

But you can do it yourself as long as you are willing to invest on a vacuum coater or a chemical coater.

It's around $300 - $1000 for a used one.

its better to spend that money on a waterpressure tester machine, uh?

However if ou have a lot of panerais and reps supossed to have ar coating with poor ar coating

the coaters worths the pity.

We usually have another member living near us, so it would be a good idea that each location (madrid, london, california...) would have a shared machine by the members. Well that´s just a fantasy...

Lenscrafters or lens Express can do it. ...if they are friendly enough to.

2nd that. I believe my local opthamologist (independent practice) will AR coat a crystal for the right price...
