[Re: brt209]       #2530548 - 07/20/08 06:02 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hi Stephane , Long time no hear ! I hope you are still enjoying your Helios 10 x 50 Roofs ! There have been several posts here since your last appearance , regarding the 22 x 85 from Garrett Optical . I would be very surprised indeed if it were not one and the same item as that for which you seek information .

Helios have released an improved version called the AM-6+ since I purchased them,I don't know how much better they are though, but if there is any significant improvement, then they will be unbeatable value for money. Regarding the Apollo series,it seems that I have some catching up to do and I will read the relevant threads and the comparison with the Garrett optical model. Clear skies!
