Have a nice day.

Hi,
Have a nice day.
Hmm... So their 132mm F7 APO will going to be cheaper than their FLT 110mm APO OTA.I think the new WO 132mm F/7 APO should be around the same price (US$3000), and Taiwan is definitely much nearer than Gyor, Hungary
Have a nice day.

"The universe is composed mainly of hydrogen and ignorance." The FLT lenses were sourced from TEC while the new APO lenses I think will be manufactured in Asia.

I am in touch with Mr Gyulai from GPU and hopefully will see some of his samples end of this month. Will keep everyone posted.
Another difference between GPU and WO is the business model. GPU customizes the lens and OTAs with each customer individually when you order.
Cheers!

Arief - According to Mr Gyulai, the price of the 127/1000 will be similiar to 127/1200. However, production date has not been decided yet.
