Possible new Tak scope

[gregbradley]

There is a new scope being launched by Takahashi at NEAF (April 16 and 17th).

Someone leaked this image out. No guarantee it will be the scope released but boy what an incredible piece of gear if it were.

FSQ206ED F3.8.

Hehe. I would want one if they did release such a scope. It may be just a net rumour though.

I reckon around US$15000 would be a likely price seeing as the TOA150 is about $9.

How many lifetime's worth of wages will I need to accrue to purchase this baby?

It cannot be done with current materials. It is almost impossible to have homogenous glass at that size that matches the figuring. We can all dream though can't we. If we did not we would still be using the naked eye!
