Btw, anyone thinks the real aperture of WO 88 and WO 98 are correct? I believe they are 2mm larger than stated
.... but "8" is a good number for WO folks

heh, alot depends on wat u consider gd price. this is the 1st time i'm buying a scope from a local dealer, that should gif u a rough idea of the kind of pricing robin is giving.

not too sure abt the aperture. i do hope the flt-98cf follows andrey's spec as closely as possible. no point squeezing out another 2mm of aperture to see pinched optics or some other wierd abberation. at the price range of 2k usd, this already have 6-8mm more aperture than the competitors.

btw, the diagrams look really awesome, pretty much in line with his larger apos. i do hope the taiwan side dun screw up manufacturing of the lens.
