Tak FS102 vs WO FLT132. Opinions wanted.
I have been lucky enough to stumble across 2 really nice refractors, an WO FLT132 and more recently a Takahashi FS102. Both are early versions of that particular model, the FS is a fixed dew shield version from 1999 and the WO would be nearly 10 years old. I am finding that I don't need both of them and need to decide which one to keep. I do both photography and visual. both are very sharp visually, and both are good photographically.
The way I see it is the WO has aperture, a triplet, a case, and a feather touch focuser going for it, while its weight is against it. Focal length 925mm @f7.
The Tak is much lighter, apparently one of the best doublets, and a cell that can be collimated going for it, while lack of aperture and a single speed focuser against it. Focal length 820mm @f8.
All opinions welcome.
Regards
David
