NPZ site

[nicnac]

looks like NPZ optics have rehashed their site.

i am liking the look of the new refractor

Telescope-refractor TAL-200A

[nightfisher]

yes its a lot more modern, it even let me add a 125r to the cart

[nicnac]

but did you carry out the transaction?

you know you want to

i wouldn't mind that 150 APO myself

[nightfisher]

no, i bottled out, no price or any thing

[nicnac]

I know

a tad more detail would be nice

[AndyH]

If you click the 'russian' tab at the top of the page, then use a toolbar translator, often there is far more info about the scopes etc. It also lets you see the pricelist.

Andy.

cheers Andy

Hi.

Have you checked out the factory price list?

Looking at the cost of the 100RS(now called 'S'), the UK importers obviously have a good arrangement with Tal, as the cost, here in the UK is very, very attractive.

Now look at the 125R cost. Roughly £80 more. Imagine, if the same arrangement could be had, how many could/would be sold at say, £350 !!!!!!!!

We can, but dream :-(

[nightfisher]

i would pay that any time for a 125r, i searched high and low for one but not a chance, can we now buy direct from NPZ site

[nicnac]

they sell the bigger units direct yeah

wonder what the postage would be for such weight?

[nightfisher]

Do you just email them for a quote and hope they can translate the page right for a price direct?

[AndyH]

For overseas orders, it's best to contact Yuri Elovenko for quotes and availability.

[nicnac]

they have responded to my Emails before so i dont see why not, the web address for their sales dept is on the site

[AndyH]

Air shipping aint cheap(they use FedEx??), from what I remember. Perfectly fine for smaller, lighter items.

Dave(F15Rules), got a quote from Mr Elovenko, a few years back.

If I had any money, I'd seriously consider asking for a quote for a 125R lens cell n focuser and build the tube around them. Probably much cheaper, shipping wise.

Andy.

edit: 125R lens cell = approx £140 / 125R 2" crayford = approx £45

[nightfisher]

email sent, if they can supply and the shipping is less than £200 i might just do it

[AndyH]

I'm struggling trying to remember, but expect at least US$200-300 for air shipping, heavy OTA's.

Perhaps pm Dave and see if he remembers ?

[nightfisher]

Andy, could you be kind enough to pm me Yuri elovenko`s email address, i could try him direct

[AndyH]

[TheThing]

Be interested to hear what sort of price they come up with for supply and delivery.

[nightfisher]

Thanks for that Andy, your a star

[nightfisher]

check this bad boy out!!!

Catadioptric telescopes TAL-300K optic sights, night optic sight, devices of night vision, night vision glasses, night field-glasses, laser range finders

[AndyH]

They're planning a 350K(14") too. In fact if you click on the 'russian' tab, the 300K english page changes to the specs for a 350K............Yum.

I've got the MT-3S mount that the 300K is shown on, in the pic. It's a hefty beast, yet the scope makes it look so small. What a monster!!

Andy.

[nicnac]

i want to go shopping, where is me plastic....... better not

yet

[AndyH]

Quite fancy one of these, if I ever have money again.....

Astrometric Eyepiece 12.5mm 1.25 binocular, optic sights, night optic sight, devices of night vision, night vision glasses, night field-glasses, laser range finders

Very well priced, especially compared to other similar eyepieces available today.

Andy.

All this great stuff from NPZ and what do OVL supply? barely a fraction of it, its pretty poor really if you ask me

there isnt much in the new OVL catalogue i can say that, tiz disappointing.
