I still need to decide on the 82mm binos or 100mm binos !~700 euros difference.

Thanks for the tip on the eyepieces.

Is the model of the APM Giant Binos you have:

Thanks
yeah sorry mate I didnt realise there was such a big price gap between the Semi APO's and the 82mm APO's..

that being said I'm pretty sure the Semi's that you have pictured are now discontinued are they not?

The new ones look identical to the APO's but with a different colour scheme to differentiate them.

Mine are essentially the same as the APM APO, only in the Lunt brand. Markus Ludes (owner of APM) use to brand these binos APM for Europe/global sale and Lunt for the US market as Lunt Engineering is better known there for other optics...

This practise has now been discontinued and all these binos are branded APM - mine have the same hardware (glass etc) with Lunt branding.. still purchased from APM Telescopes when they were selling them through.
