Remember the recent "Huge lens on ebay" auction:

Some of the list members had shown interest in the result:
Thanks to those who wrote. Well, It arrived today! and since it is raining, measured it very quickly with a lightbulb in my long hall

It is a two part lens, two convex surfaces coated with a perfect "golden copper" coating
focal length of 1.37 meters.

The other lens:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=74930&item=3850365886

It is a 3 part lens with a focal length of 80mm, made of identical glass. The smaller lens is really concave. It is obviously a really very well made unit.

I wanted these lenses ...to make a super schupmann, since the glass was identical, however, the objective pair seems "a little too fast"  I don't want to do any grinding, as the lenses look very, very high dollar. However, I want the best refractive scope design possible from them.

Thanks for the advice of the list on this lens!   
I really do appreciate your help and ideas.
