  What format? 35mm or MF? If 35 mm do we
want 5 perf coverage or 7 or 8 perf? Ortho
FL or not?

  Are we talking a big diameter lens for
homebuilt viewers or a 20 or 25 mm diameter
ocular that we can retrofit our red buttons
or Kodaslide II's with?

  How much is "won't be any more expensive
than off-the-shelf lenses"?  $20 a pair,
$50 a pair or $100 a pair?
