Where do I get the material?
There is a variable "focus", focal length of the
lens.
Optics
- One 130mm diameter glass loupe lens with 295mm focal length. Other
focal lengths are possible, as the guide is written referring to a variable
"focus", which is the actual length of the lens you managed to get.
Some lenses are greenish or blueish. Try to pick
out the most clear ones as the colouring will generate some optical attenuation.
The range is specified for clear lenses.
