New Mitutoyo apo 10x

[leanderborg220]

If you test your lens which seems to have the same problem please let me know how it performs

Are you able to get that massive 180 euros of VAT partially refunded too? You paid $110 for the objective, 180 euros in customs is just plain robbery in this case.

I will add in the [1] footnote late too, going to bed now.

No I got the refund but did not get VAT back. which was nearly 25% of the total cost

yeah, stumbled over him as well.
he's also listing a bunch of rayfact 2x lenses with images with a taobao watermark, so I guess he's a reseller that looks for items there and lists them on ebay.
