Televue while they are still cheap'ish'

For anyone who is interested in brand new Televue eyepieces.

The Bad News
Bintel have raised their prices again on Televue OTAs last week in light of the dramatic drop in the USD/AUD exchange rate which plunged overnight from roughly 96 to 92 cents.

The Good News
Despite the inevitable creep in price due to the decreasing exchange rate Bintel, as yet, still haven't made any commensurate changes to the prices of the Televue eyepiece range on their website.

So the take-home message is that there is still a window of opportunity to buy the EPs at the better (i.e. older) lower prices

Unfortunately, I can't vouch for how long this situation will remain.

Delos, Naglers and Panoptics are still listed at the same prices they were 2 weeks ago before the sudden drop in AUD.

Unfortunately, I haven't kept track of Barlows, Plossls or Ethos so I can't comment whether they have gone up yet or not.

However, OTAs have certainly gone up (twice) in roughly the past 4 weeks.
