SCHWEEEEEEEEEET!!!! You know I'm psyched about this :D How long do you estimate shipping to take (to West Virginny)?

I would say it will get there on Monday, but at best, Saturday...

Let me know how you like it!

Oh yeah... this is for your 12X build right? I'm sure you will remember to give all of the details of the build to FrancoRob for his compilation graph...
 
Great lens jay! ive only got to try it on my red because my blu-ray just died(the day before the lens arrived:yabbmad:) but it works GREAT on my red, and cant wait till my blu-rays up and running again, i know its gonna be sweet! Excellent customer service:p, look foward to doing business with you again!

EDIT: A little teflon tape makes a flawless focus, and a superb fit in aixiz!!!

Are there any alternatives to this? I'm still only using PHRs, since I don't have the money for a 6x or better, which also means that a $55-dollar lens assembly is unjustified, for me.
 
I'm not too worried about the degradation, more about I want just a *little* more power. Like Tim Taylor, only, on a budget...

Also, what about the one here, on Modwerx:
http://modwerx.com/shop/ar-coated-glass-lens-for-405nmbluray-p-48.html

EDIT: Found out that the ones on Modwerx ARE the Aixiz ones. (Well, I deduced it based on the fact they look the exact same).
Also, to make sure I understand: if I paid the $28 + $2 shipping, I would get the lens only, without your custom spacer? Or would I be able to get the lens and the spacer, and just buy a $5 Aixiz glass for reds (it looks like that's the one you're using; am I right?), and put it together myself?

For the 405-G-1, the bare lens is $28 plus $2 dollars shipping...

But that's just for the bare lens only.

To mount it, I do some machine work on the AixiZ glass brass nut. It gets drilled out to fit the lens. It also gets the end drilled out larger to have a larger entry aperture to the lens.

The other parts of the assembly are the custom spacer/retainer, and the AixiZ focus ring...

The machining I could *probably* do myself, at least to a reasonably satisfactory level. How much would you charge for just the lens and the spacer/retainer? Or do you have some idea as to an alternative to your custom spacer/retainer?
 
Good idea. If I purchase just a lens, and find myself unable to mount it well, can I just order the other pieces properly modified, and put it together myself?
 
Yes of course, that would not be a problem... Just PM me for PayPal... :)
 
I got my lens in the post yesturday:)

Cheers jayrob for the quick dispatch :thanks:
 
Your welcome! :)

I got my 405-G-1 lens from JayRob. It's a real champ, beautiful machine-work, just great quality overall. It boosted my 395mW 12x using an open-back AixiZ to 505mW! That's a 27.8% increase! Burns like a champ. Thanks, Jay!
