John, Thanks for your comments. Nothing needs to be "changed" to adapt the Feathertouch to the TMB focuser. Starlight Instruments makes an adapter plate that...

Exactly what is your problem? This is a TMB group; I was not accusing anybody of anything. I wanted some advise on a SMALL thing on my lens. I will thing twice...
James and all, I do not think there is any problem here, only a simple misunderstanding. The coating technology used by TMB is of the highest quality, like...
For what it's worth, I have a pair of WWII vintage 7x50 binoculars that say "U.S. Navy - Bureau of Aeronautics" on them. The coatings are absolutely trashy...
