Hi David, do you know that the Cheif Master Optician who designed that many nice optics at Zeiss Jena in Germany was named Ernst Karl Abbe? If not, i am sure you will like to know that... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Abbe best regards Enzo | |||

Thank You Enzo! Nice thought. I and my father (ALSO Ernst Abbe) have use Abbe optics many times. But the Ernst Abbe Optics genius is not related unfortunately. Our Abbe name came from England in 1635, sailing here as John Abbe on the Bonaventure (possibly to escape the sherriff). We have been troublemakers in the Americas ever since. | |||
