I do hope the dealer you bought it rom did not claim they are apochromatic. Merely having ED elements does NOT an apochromat make, nr does a triplet assure apochromatism (many Chinese triplets are not apochromatic)
My dealer did claim that is was a apochromatic refractor . Its even on their website.
