Re: 445nm A130 Lens Comparisons!
Tell us more about the lens and where I can get one for testing!
I tested Will's AR coated acrylic with red, and it is about 5% better than AixiZ acrylic. (back opened)
It is the same size optic. Just like the AR coated acrylic from Virtual Village. But the Virtual Village gives 10% better than AixiZ for red...
About my 'small aperture sleeve' for the 405-G-1. No photography tricks. It does clean up the splash quite a bit. As Dave will verify since I am sending him one today...
However, after further testing and comparisons at night. I still like the AixiZ 405 glass lens better for this diode...
The new 'small aperture sleeve' will be nice for blu-ray though!

Sorry, what one ?
If your lens have an AR coating that looks blue/violet, don't use it for blue diodes .... that coating is for red/IR band, and used with blue light, it just cause more loss .....
..... it's called "diaphragm", in photography :na: ..... sorry, no offense, just can't resist
Also, i'm second suggesting you to paint the inside with matte black ..... both the "high temp BBQ" suggested from Dave, or the high temp motor paint can be ok .....
