[In sff.net, talking about quality in optics and other things . . . ]
Abso-definitely true with optics, Bud. A couple of hours ago I carried my little Questar out and enjoyed looking at and sketching the sun for awhile. The 3.5-inch Q is light enough to pick up with one hand, but steadier than my 150-lb. 9-inch. And optical quality? It's like Ford versus Rolls Royce.
(To be totally accurate, it would be a Rolls Royce versus a Ford muscle car that's somewhat out of tune. It would win a quarter-mile, but wouldn't you rather be in the Rolls?)
