I should have ordered the gt90 on the first group buy but I didn’t, now it says sold out until feburary 12th. Not sure what that’s all about but definitely not ordering it like that. I don’t mind a little wait but I have limits.
Well that explains a lot. That post was way up in this thread but I never heard the update. Thanks for the response, I guess I’ll have to go with the gt90.
I’m guessing the notice on Neil’s site saying out of stock until Feburary 12th is referring to 2020, and never got updated after it came back in stock. I sent him a message asking. If it is available I’ll probably just order that one.
Well this is weird, I traded reflectors with an sst40 version and the ft03s that was not round before was then round but had darker area inside the center spot, and the sst40 did have a bigger center spot, so I swapped them back. Then I thought I would try trading on the 50.2 version, and the F03S is much better, and round. It also did not seem to mess up the 50.2 version as badly, and the center spot on it is still round…weird. If Astrolux was going to upgrade at 3 times the price, it seems they should have not sent the upgraded lights out faulty. One observation, when screwed back on, any of the 3 lights containing the FT03S mirror would afterward have a very small gap between the lens cover and the body of the light. That means the reflector was in fact a little…very little, bit longer…perhaps 1/4 mm at the most. That gap was smallest with that reflector in the 50.2 version. There is still a gap, but less than existed with that reflector in the other 2. If I left that white insulator off the gap might not be there at all, but what might leaving it out lead to. Think I will leave well enough alone, but that tiny gap might affect the waterproof of the lens cover, so I want test the 2 meter underwater on it either.
