philjay Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Aha, I was wondering if it was a scam, didnt do any other searching. The title was a bit suspicious Still it,s nice to look at the pictures and dream Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 There's not enough brass bits Phil, it's bound to be shifty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Reading 'super perfect optics' would always make me raise an eyebrow in a sale description. Fascinating looking scope though. But €7990 ?? Thats a lot to fork out, so one assumes its a very rare example. And is it a triplet ? Or a Doublet ? One assumes so as it says its an aprochromat ? Why would an aprochromat need to be F12 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Well it sold, just over a grand, somewhat lower than the APM price. It,ll be an ed doublet, so with the f12 that should eliminate most CA. A superb visual scope, shame the ad was fishy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8472 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Slightly off topic, but I've seen a few to-good-to-be-true cooled camera deals on Amazon, not too long ago. Marketplace items, that is. Seemed very tempting at the time, and I only just resisted the urge to snap one up. Reading up, they were more likely than not scams too. Caveat Emptor... philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I guess its that age old "if something seems too good to be true.............then it probably is" type thing 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I was watching with interest 2 Zeiss Telementors as well. They are nice scopes yes, classics yes, unusual, yes but the Zeiss fever has taken hold and somone is paying £500 once fees and postage is taken into account.
