[QUOTE="a33, post: 1089781, member: 332642"] First of all: Yes [B]that is good news, from HM-satshop![/B] I don't know what went wrong the first time, but I didn't think the intention of the satshop was to give bad service. I'm glad that it seems to get solved neatly, after all? :) [B]Who tests correct focal position?
