[GordonCopestake]

I can't read jap so can only look at the images but this seems silly to me. Borg 25mm APO:

Perhaps a nice finder, or widefield lens, but can't see any advantage over a 80mm APO other than portability?

Any takers?

Is it for use by a small dosmestic animal ?

[SteelRat]

Hmmm... Gerbil-scope eh? Heheehe.

At least they do show it in a finder bracket.

Really can't see the point, don't think I'll be rushing to sell my TV85 and get this.

If I used my Tele Vue 32mm Plossl with this the eyelens of the eyepiece would be larger than the objective of the scope ! - it might gather more light if you used it the wrong way around. Wonder if they do an adaptor for 2inch acessories - it would look really daft then :shock:

9800 Yen . That works out around £42 !!!!!!!!!!

I'd rather buy an eyepiece than a nose picker. Mmmmm. Perhaps you can inspect your pickings with those 25 millimeters.

Bizzare.

It's a 25mm objective, who cares if it's an APO? Try feeding the webpage to Babelfish. Babelfish is blocked at the corporate firewall, so I can't do it at present. In fact all the web translators are blocked. Spoilsports!
