I wanted to point out that very often ... the Ottiches and Russian mirror have had a factory installation somewhat exaggerated.
I'll explain...
My MC 3m 5SA just bought me disappointed in sharpness.
Then I found out why ... the primary mirror had been too tight with the sealing ring and suffered tensions that changed its surface.
I dismantled and reassembled the whole goal carefully ... but in particular I was very attentive to the pressure exerted on the primary spec.
After my intervention ... it's a great 500mm mirror.
More than 90% of its peers.
