Synta EQ-8

Post by orly_andico »

looks like there's gonna be a new EQ-8 (like iOptron, kinda copying the AP 900 look)

but it's gonna weigh much more than the EQ-6 (and cost more).

looks like the only other option in this price range if you're not a fan of the EQ-6 and CGEM, is the iEQ 45..

There is a rumour that there will still be an EQ7 also which will be in between EQ6 and Eq8.

It is probably similar to the Ioptron iEQ75-gt

they say it will be called EQ6.5 (?) because 7 is unlucky in Chinese? (also why EQ8 because 8 is lucky?)
