AP eyepieces- $249?!
Monocentrics- $200?!
Pentax XOs- $339?!
What am I not understanding about the construction of these that would warrant their prices other than disproportionately high margins and marketing BS?
The few tiny elements and super simple machanicals simply cannot compare to, say, a Nagler or a Pentax XW for cost of production- yet the prices do.
Talk about reaching a point of diminishing return, my god! Seemingly, people can talk themselves into just about anything.
I'm sure there will be plenty of people responding about the "ne plus ultra", but I can't help but feel we're being played.
