    Wanted: cheap lens blanks

    I am going through the learning stages of my horizon III and am in need of some inexpensive lenses to *practice* on. The key word is cheap.

    Anyone have anything they want to unload? I do not think (ie hope) I need hundreds of them, but a box of assorted unusable lenses that I could edge would be great.

    Feel free to pm me if you have something. As an aside I'm open to all other Horizon III throwaway junk you may have in the back of your closet as well :)

    Thanks.

    Wanted: cheap lens blanks
    Ask your lab for "spoilage" jobs. You will get a wide range of materials and powers. Best off, they're FREE!

    Cheap blanks

    You can order blanks through Lenstock.com as well as other stock lenses. Sunburst is a provider on lenstock if you need to register. The class of materials is other equipment/supplies and the category is plano lens. They are about $0.50 per pair.
    Good Luck
