Super cheap achromat from a rifle scope.

[Dreamish]

The cheapest achromat you can get.
Use a 3-9x56mm rifle scope.
TAke out the objective lens.
And this one has approximately the same power as SGPro's achromat.
The lens diameter=56mm.
And the coating is nice too...

Very intriguing. Do you have pictures of this rig? Footage from it?

I gonna craft a spinning adapter and use these type of achromat this week.
Then I will post some footage here.
