Ok.. The Aixiz glass lens is OUT for BluRay
.. I sacrificed one of mine(disassembling proved to kill it), and found 3 lenses inside. ALL THREE have coating on BOTH sides..the same blue-reflecting coating.. it is no wonder they cause such a drop in power. There is most likely no practical way to remove the coating from all three of these lenses without destroying the whole assembly.
I was online thru yahoo with jake21, and his tests resulted in a 8mw(62 to70) gain by just changing to the Aixiz acrylic lens.
I hated killing the lens to get it apart, but it was only a $3 sacrifice at least :-/
