A while back there was a group buy hosted by Skhattane.
Unfortunately that group buy was not authorised by AVS and was therefore blocked and deleted from the site. Some of us though, did get in on the deal especially since it was posted for some time and seemed like a legit buy.
Anyways Skhattane did inform us that it would take a few months for the prisms made of BK7 glass and AR coated would take a few months to produce and then a couple of weeks to ship. It took a little while longer than expected and I was somewhat concerned wether I would ever get the prisms. I am happy to report that the prisms have made it here a'ok.
They were extremely well packed and shipped US priority mail. They actually came from PA. I only have opened one of the prisms which were carefully wrapped and it is in perfect order. I carefully held it up to look thru and see how the clarity appears and I can say that it is amazingly clear. Now I just need to work on an enclosure for them but it will probably be some time before I get to this as I am still working on my room. I temporarily set up my projector though for my son's b-day and if I can safely place them in front of the projector to see how they work I'll probably do that.
If anyone else is waiting for theirs they are on their way.
Thanks Skhattane maybe next time you can work with AVS to make it a smoother event.
