Wong Mirrors

Post by orly_andico »

guys, remember dragoncai2008 (?) and his China made mirror?

apparently the man who grinds these mirrors ("The Bob Royce of China," I say -- at least I'd like to imagine he looks like Bob Royce) has a web site.

Here's a link to his 10" offering

http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/3112 ... -soon.html

he also advertises a 300mm ( = 12" ) for $660. that's 1/2 of what John Hall charges for a "bargain basement" 12" (in my not-so-exhaustive research, it seems Pegasus makes the cheapest premium mirrors, followed by OWL and Lightholder, while Zambuto and Royce cost the most).

by "the test results.. looked good" you mean you did your own foucault? star-test? or Mr Wong supplied tests?
