Jim? Why don't you mention that Burgess Optical has an excellent
30-day full return policy? And your, "All too often, you get what you
pay for." doesn't seem to apply to the Burgess/Back line of optical
goods. While none of us -- save Bill -- have seen the BO Premium
Binoviewer, I would expect at around $200 it compares nicely with a
Denkmeir(sp?). After all, the BO triplet refractor at $2000 (the
180mmf7) compares with the competition at $8-10,000.

Clear skies and defunct streetlights,

Donald

I like this the most:

1. After all, the BO triplet refractor at $2000 (the 180mmf7) compares
with
the competition at $8-10,000

The very first competitor's product.... right! TMB's 175mm F/8 at
$13000

2. Burgess/Back line of optical goods. ;)


Donald, may I ask you?

1. Is the famous 1026 achromat does utilize TMB-designed objective?

2. Is is true, that new BO (China) binoculars have TMB-designed
objectives
in them? Are they KzFS-based 3x-better then achromat correction???

3. Is the 180mm F/7 telescope with CNC tube and CNC focuser is an APO?
Did I understood you correctly? They are APOs? Where we can test
and buy
them?


4. Where are these new 6" F/8 TMB-designed,KzFS-based, 5-x times color
improved, APO triplets for less than $1000???? I know, they were
decreased in promised size to 127mm. But where they are????

5. Where the replacement 102mm F/6 ordinary achromats (promised in no
longer than 1 months after defective objectives were shipped back to
giant optical plant in China)???? Or they still approaching US's west
coast on a "slow boats"??

6. Where these promised 9" refractors, 11" and 16"
Maksutov-Cassegrains, GO-TO mounts????

Even focuser knowbs and adjustable 2" diagonals were not delivered!
How this speaker can design and produce all above? All these things
simultaneously???


How many more idiots will believe in these tales?
