Hi Bro...

Yes... When Markus, claims that there is no taker for the 1st sample displayed at the Tucson astronomy show, and is shipping back the unit to Germany , I asked for it, since it will save me 3 mths of waiting time for the production unit to be delivered, which currently is beginning of March.

Price is the same at usd3990, inclusive of delivery, which the scope is serialized , maybe no#1, but except the focuser and finder are APM made , coz the first unit is delivered without the other accessories....

Hi All...

The 2nd sample already received by Markus, and the test report is already out.....
You can refer to following link for the details.....
http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/ ... ll/fpart/1#
The report claims that it is 0.967 strehl ratio....., and is really qualified as ED APO.

As for my shipment , is already ready for delivery to my home, as such I should be receiving today, or else tomorrow I will make a trip to my nearest post office for the collection....

BTW, they have notified my wife that we need to pay the 7% GST.....
So for those who wants to buy anything from oversea without GST, but something sgd300 or lesser...
Coz my last 2 shipment from APM Germany, does not require me to pay any GST.....
