I've been on the list since 1996 and I believe I got ONE notification for the latest 160mm. At the time that came, last year, I could not affort an 80ED much less a 160EDFS. Never got notified for the 130, and never the 90, now the Mak, never any other AP scope. Yet in that same time, I've owned and/or been notified for every mount they make. Sometimes twice.

Hi Rich,

Hmm, that's an interesting thought. I could brag about *wanting* to buy and
AP without spending any money. And perhaps a few years from now I'll have
the $$ to actually buy one.

Hi Sander,

It doesn't cost anything to get on AP's "interest list". At the rate
AP is turning out OTAs it may be a several years before you could get on a
production run.
