Ok I scratched my lens on the inside and thought.. Hey I'll just buff that out a bit with my dremel. Well, I got just a tad over zealous then it was like my hand got stuck for a second and made this small but, butt ugly mark on my lens. So I was wondering if anyone is looking to maybe sell their blue lens for a MKIIa? ( if it's in good shape that is ) Or does support have any they can sell?

The Darkstorm lenes are MUCH easier to read the screen with. They lack that "fuzzy" look (which was put there to reduce glare but makes the text look blurry). I seriously recommend getting a Darkstorm lens. My favorite is "smoke" which makes the empeg a green color that is very easy to read - but there are many colors available.

The inside of the factory lenses are coated with an anti-RF coating, so buffing a spot on the inside of the lens would cause a "blank spot" that would look funny. You're right, you should have just left it.

Did the lens ever get mailed, just checking just in case you have. Not complaining i just wasn't sure if you sent it or not, cause if it did it must be in mail la la land. That or a Wisconsin mail-person has an Empeg with a new blue lens.

Thanks again.

Greetings!

If you are still looking for an original empeg Mark2a blue anti-reflective lens (there was a non-ar lens, so I am being very specific), send me a PM with your address, and I will send you one. I have a few around.

Greetings!

Unfortunately, I do not anymore. I sent it off (with a complete set of lenses) to CastingFool as samples. Assuming you are looking specifically for the empeg anti-reflective blue.

I may have one around somewhere. If you are still looking let me know and I will see what I have.

I'm assuming you are looking for the original empeg blue?
