If I'm to believe all the negatives I've read about refractors with carbon fibre tubes, why would APM place such impressive Zeiss fluorite triplet lenses in one? |
The strehls 96.6 great but there exists better or similar , for much , much , much less money...
More to do with the coveted name, pride of ownership.. than anything else...Carbon fibre ..no way!
And its still only 6"! Makes the Tecs, Taks ,AP etc ..look like absolute giveaways.
