Has anyone any information regarding these new binoculars from AP? They sound too good to be true. There cost is not prohibitive.

You probably won't be disappointed in these binoculars. They are very good IMHO. I've used mine ~7x since receiving them in August and am very pleased with them.
I have a pair of Nikon 12x50 SEs for comparison, and they fare well... not selling either pair. Stars seem sharp in the AP for ~75-80% of the FOV.
Monday night I was viewing comet Swan with both the AP 15x70s and a TMB 115 w/ a TMB 40mm Paragon (20x). The binocular views were quite nice and equally as enjoyable.
For lots of quantitative info, see Ed Z's reviews and data on CN. For enjoyment, just get a pair. I use a Bogen 3221W tripod and lightweight fluid head, works nice.
