Lense Makers - Pointers Please

I am obviously not using correct search phrases on Google as I don't seem to be having any luck - difficult and all as that might be to believe!

Could any of you give me a few pointer (URL) to suppliers/makers of telescope lenses. Items in the 7" to 12" arena are what I am interested in.

Thanks in advance.

Hhmmm... Jared, could you actually be referring to the OBJECTIVE lenses? As in, the light gathering lens at the front of a refractor? Try adding the phrase 'objective lens' to your search.

You're looking for a 7-12" refractor lens ?!? , :shock:
TMB do a 7" and 8" refractors, the 8" scope costs over $20K

Are you considering getting such a scope ??

I wish!

No - but I might be interested in a lense. I took a pass at this ( www.skinnerinc.com/asp/fullCatalogue.asp...660267&saletype= ) just recently and am now left wondering what the modern equivalent would cost. Incidently this may not be what it proports to be.

Mostly right now I want to talk to some people who do this (make large lenses on a commercial basis).

Thanks for the interest.
